I am just curious about how you went about cutting the tenons. Router?

Can't speak for Joe, but if it were me and the piece was that huge. I would call that a bring the tool to the work kinda job, and yes the router with an edge guide and a straight downcut bit would be my choice of tool to use. I would also divide each section to be cut away into pieces so as to not make it a single depth cut. Multi passes with the thought to decrease chipping. I would likely also clamp on some same thickness stock to each outer edge to eliminate blow out at the ends of each pass.
For the mortise to keep from having a balancing act, and also because the cap piece is much smaller I'd move to a router table where the fence would keep me straight, and do a start/stop cut.

As surprising as it may be I did the tenons on the tablesaw on the lighter colored table and cleaned and fit them with a Stanley 93
the walnut ones were done with a router and a Leigh M&T jig after roughing out the tenons on the TS

If you're interested in M/T breadboard ends with draw bore joinery, Glen Huey has an excellent video on YouTube. I used his method primarily and I would do it again. After a year of hard living and different seasons, my BB ends have had no issues. The only thing I'd consider doing differently in the construction is using a power mortiser instead of chopping them by hand. I've chopped enough of them to satisfy my curiosity at this point.
