Thanks. I must have been horsing around when the wood shop teacher covered that. (grin)
 
However I have done wood joints on model airplane longerons etc. with the edges cut at a 45 degree angle for extra strength.

The two tapered faces would be glued together to create a much stronger bond than a butt joint. If done properly the joint line on the outer surfaces is almost invisible.> > HTH> YMMV
