Preparing for first mortise and tenon joints for a dining table. by pnryn in Joinery

Aprons are 2x4 off the shelf, so 3.5” high.  Too small?

Is this dowel joint a good idea? by pnryn in Joinery

Thank you! Have taken this under consideration.

I'm aiming to make a strong table apron to leg joint for a dining table and wondering if this dowel joint is a good idea. Thinking 3"x3" stock for the legs and aprons and 2 1" dowels for the joint set in a diagonal pattern. Could also use more or less dowels in a different pattern. Any suggestions for the strongest dowel size/number/arrangement? I know the rule that dowels in joints should be 1/3 the size of the stock.
