2) in the event it's a "thing," has anyone had a knife profile made that achieves this? i don't think it's as simple as described, as the stock will be thicker (1" or so), and the intersection with the 3/4" panel could be customized. for example, a slight break at the top to ensure finishes don't bridge, and perhaps some geometry to best ensure a flush back between the panel and frame...
i'm just asking to see if anyone has done this, considered the issues, and had a matching set designed and made, before i undertake it.
hope that clarifies, and isn't a terribly stupid question.
