I am building a fireplace mantle that is 8" deep. I routed a profile on the mantle and then ripped a 1" piece off, cut 45 miter on each end for the return miters, then glued the ripped profile back on.
My question is should I glue the 8" mitered return pieces that is long grain to the end grain board? I was thinking to glue the miter surface only and just nail the rest of the piece to allow for movement.
Any thoughts?
