Thanks guys.
I think that I took this peg placement issue way too seriously.

Speaking of pegs and wedges. My pegs are tapered slowly to about
half the length. Using an appropriate sized mallet, the peg is tapped in until the mallet bounces. At that point the joint is tight and the ends are cut off. I suppose one could leave the frame stand for a month and then re-tap the pegs again before cutting off.
