This is from about a year ago. I wanted to make a picture frame for a piece of artwork my Dad made. All I really had to work with at the time was a router, so I made a jig that would allow me to route a groove across the miter joint. After gluing a piece a wood in there, that joint was solid.
Picture #1 shows the artwork, which is a picture from a magazine that is cut up and rearranged onto a white background in an interesting way.
Picture #2 is a close-up of the miter joint, showing the piece of wood crossing the miter joint.
Picture #3 is a close-up of the side of the frame, showing how there is a piece of wood crossing the miter joint on both the front and back of the frame for added strength.

I like this, it must work great. Very unique technique.
You could cut the groove with a dovetail bit for even more strength.
I want to try this with contrasting wood.
Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting way to make the joint. Great way to figure out how to work with what you have to work with.

Nice touch with the splined joint addition here, in addition to your resourceful use of the tools at hand!
I’m with 559dustdesigns in that I might try this with some contrasting wood, and maybe even put a third wood in with two pins in each joint.
