Why not use floating tenons in mortices routed with a jig and a spiral-upcut solid carbide bit? As pointed out above, multiple dowels are very unforgiving. If you have a thicknesser, a router table and a roundover bit, it is easy to make floating tenon stock.

Didi ..... it sounds like you are facing the same dilemma that I did a while ago on a similar project.

I went for the biscuit joint B in the post below.

After a few years it hasn't had any problem. There is a little creep of the pva glue along the joint line but it isn't anything that you can notice and hasn't altered the strength .... you can just feel it if you run your hand along the joint.

Hope this helps

Stinky.
