T-buds work just fine for me.
I do most of mine with dormant scions grafted onto seedling rootstocks any 
time afte the rootstock has initiated growth in the spring - most as a bark 
graft(not really much different from a T-bud from a mechanical standpoint), 
but I've done simple whip grafts and whip & tongue with success rates 
similar to apples/pears.
