What is the name for this joint?

I want to build a small box with the sides joined at a 45 degree angle.
Then I want to cut 2 slots in each corner and insert a piece of 1/8" thick
contrasting wood perpendicular to the rise of the corner. I have seen this
done in frames and in boxes but I don't know what the name of this type of
joint is, if there is one. I wanted to search for ways to best do it.


Thanks,
-Jim

if you angle the splines I've heard it referred to
as feathered mitered corners

OK folks, look at the back shipping cover of FWW # 173. Shop Tips section
deals with keys.

A spline is still parallel to me. Anyone know of any standard work which
defines it otherwise?

I think it's commonly called a "keyed miter joint". A splined miter has the
spline running parallel to the mitered edges.

Splined miter ... I assume it's called the same thing regardless of the
orientation of the spline.

It's my impression also that a spline runs parallel to the joint. Keys
of various sorts running at right angles to the joint aren't true splines.
