I am trying to figure out how to finish the back (inside) of the sides and doors of a china hutch I am building. The sides/doors are divided lights with a vertical muntin and two horizontal muntins. I have the half laps done and the muntins in place. However, I am trying to figure out how to design the glass stops and stay within the mission style.
I see the following options:
1. Invidual mitered stops for each light.
2. Squaring off the ends and butting the joints
3. Half lapping and running the vertical stops from top to bottom and then filling in the horizontal pieces.
I am concerned that the miters would detract from the overal square joints of the piece.
Does anyone know the proceedure used on Sticley pieces? I really don't want to glaze the joints.
Thanks, Dan
