Another way to do it is to use one long bolt in the place of the two, but incorporating a 4130 spacer tube that fits tightly between the WAFs so when you tighten the bolt, you're not crushing any wood, but the WAFs will tighten up against each other. You can even mount a nut plate on (or up against) one of the WAFs for a nut plate, and then you'll only need access to one side of the WAF to turn the bolts. The recent post by our UK KR builders showed the captive nut method, at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/katkinson/k9.jpg .
