    Mitre is boring

    Miter for a modern look. There are all manner of spline patterns you can add to spice it up. Take a look at the box making forum for ideas.

    It'd be nice to book match the drawer fronts.

    Heres a sketchup on what the splines would look like with some Huon pine splines. Only two 6mm wide by 20mm deep. Should I just to splines on the two top corners, or on every corner?

    Do all four.

    My reasoning: doing only 2 admits that they're purely decorative, but all 4 suggests that they're purposeful and structural.
