Your idea and a biscuit joiner would likely work. . .Or, use edge
banding and just butt-join with a biscuit joiner.

Thanks Kim,

I thought of the edge banding but didn't want the change in grain direction.
The cabinet is staining dark so it probably won't be an issue except for me
and once it's in place I won't see it again. People are going to be looking
at what's in the cabinet (carpet sample boards for model homes) more than
the cabinet.
