table

hello everyone, I am building a table of salvaged pine true 2x6's and was curious what would be the best way the join the 2x's together. there will be 4 in a row on the flat to make the table 24" wide. dowels are the only thing i can think of....any suggestions? also this will be a rustic coffee...

Just messing around with a table for behind my desk. Wanted to see what the combo looked like.
