by sanding the ends of the bars, beginning with #80 grit and progressing through #150, #180, #220, #320, #400, #600, #1000 and #2000 grits. Place quarter sheets of each grit on a forgiving surface -1 use a mat intended to grip pieces for routing. Hold a bar as you would a pencil and move it in a circular motion while progressively tilting away from vertical to ease the corners. Polish both ends of the bar in this way and cut a strong 3/8" from each end (a strong for the pegs that go in the rails). Bevel the bottom edges to ease installation. Repeat until done.

Install the pegs as each subassembly is completed. Place a small amount of glue into a mortise and tap a peg into place with a soft mallet. Pegs are very difficult to remove so don't set them too deeply.
