Joinery - Spline Miter Joint. Watch and learn how to cut and fit spline miter joints for your woodworking projects. Make a strong and decorative miter joint for furniture, picture, frames, jewlery boxes and much, much more.

This woodworker in this woodworking video demonstrates how the spline miter joint is made on the table saw by using a shop made spline miter jig. A 1/8" dado blade is used to cut the slot for the splines. The splines dimensions are also 1/8" for an exact fitting joint. Feel free to be creative and add a contrasting wood to adorn the woodworking project. The picture frames in this woodworking demo are of cherry wood and walnut is chosen for the splines.

Brush white or yellow glue onto the splines and then press or tap the splines into the slot of the miter joint. Allow enough time for the glue to cure. Once the glue has set, it is time to clean up the joinery. If need be, cut off the excess spline at the band saw. Then take a block plane with a sharp plane iron to plane the spline flush to the surface of the project.

When you have a spline that is in a rounded profile, plane the spline almost to the surface. Then use a fine file to even the joint. Once all the joints are planed it is then time to sand the joinery and the woodworking project to prepare for the finish to be applied.
