Pray tell..what drill size, and bearing diameter on your radius cutter did you use to achieve your results.Nice looking joints BTW. I should be in assembly w/my project but have had two setbacks. bill

It doesnt make any difference to the joint what radius you use as long as the drill and the round over cutter are the same radius the joint should close. It is important that the round over is cut all the way to quarter round profile to match the drilled hole of course. I started making test joints with a 6mm drill and matching round over (note as we are talking drills this is diameter, so 3mm radius), mainly because the recent article in FWW quoted 1/4 inch. However, the parts I'm working with are 100 x 30mm and the roundover was just too delicate for the effect I wanted. I then made a test joint with a 10mm drill and matching roundover and liked that a lot better.
For the actual parts I've used a 10mm drill and a 5mm radius round over (it's actually a 6mm radius I happened to have, but you really cant see the difference) on the joints and also the ends of the proud tenons. The exterior long edges are rounded to 3mm radius. Looks OK to my eye.

From what I've seen so far I'm with Terry in the unconvinced camp on the style. Still looking forward to watching this build progress though
