Mitred face tenon corner¶
joints.mitred_face_tenon_corner
A frame corner mitred on the face, with a hidden mortise and tenon behind.
The front third of both parts is mitred, so the face towards the viewer looks like a mitre corner, e.g. on a frame with a chamfered or moulded front. Behind it the stile runs on to the corner and the rail butts against its inside edge, with a 22.5 x 8 mm tenon, 30 mm long, centered in the layer behind the mitre and across the rail's width, in a blind mortise; it shows neither at the end of the stile nor at its outer edge.
