Layout Question

Doug Reynolds in Seattle

>Making a vanity much like a table with a few drawers. The top front rail will be dovetailed into the legs. The sides and back rails will be mortise and tenon. As for the dovetail, are there any "standard" dimensions given the rail will be about one inch thick and as wide as the 2 X 2 tapered legs?

>I just eyeball it to something akin to the size of a tenon you'd make for that scantling.
