    If you have a very sharp, stropped chisel it is possible to flatten the base of the mortise. This is done by holding the chisel vertically and using both hands, drag it back the length of the mortise, then from the other end. To flatten out any ridges, drag from side to side. It is possible also to ‘walk’ the chisel back and forth to pick off any little bumps. Also, though it’s a bit of a cheat, if you really need the adhesion at the end of the tennon and are a bit low on the mortise, it’s possible to fill the gap with dust and/or shavings which when wet with glue will compress and adhere and for a really solid bond on the end of the tennon.
