Is it possible to rout a profile on the edge of two pieces whose planes are perpendicular, and have the profile match each other where they join?
I was making a paper towel holder to mount vertically on a kitchen cabinet. For some reason, I got it in my head that these profiles would match, so I went ahead and routed both pieces. You can see the results of my folly here...

not so good! Is there any way of doing this with a router (or otherwise) and avoid the gaps? Without the profile, the thing looked rather plain.
