39FD68DF-BC0D-4822-8876-DFA718B492C7.jpgBuilding a country cherry hutch from Fine Woodworking (2006) by Martin Milkovits. For the upper part of the unit the sides of the hutch are joined to the stiles ( which form the face frame for the glass paned doors ). In the plans he makes a 1/4 inch groove in the stile which receives a 1/4 projection ( sort of a long stub tenon ). This projection from the side is created by making a rabbet in the side and leaving 1/4 inch remaining. Looks nice, but would a glue joint from the edge of the side to the face of the stile be just as strong? That would be long grain to long grain and it doesnt get any stronger. Thoughts?
