OK! Pictures! It's done! Here's a shot of the front and back. You can click the links for full size. The final length is just shy of five feet.

| Thanks guys. It was a fun project. I have enough wood for another. I might try using a better saw to see if I can get the miter joints better, but the ratty nature of the cuts actually doesn't hurt the presentation in this case. |

What kind of saw did you use? Power Miter saw? If so, you might try a new blade with a few more teeth.
Another option is a manual miter saw |

One trick is to slightly bevel the cut backwards by placing a few passes of duct tape on the saw's table. That 1/2 of a degree bevel will allow you to crush the leading edge fibers in. to mask any small errors in the joint angle. |

Oh...a man thread...
Hmmmm...the frame seems so rustic for such a lovely polished image.
Just my two cents...
Back to male bonding!

Excellent idea. If anything these cuts were reversed and it was more open on the top than the bottom. |

Excellent idea indeed! If you have a compound miter, it's a breeze, otherwise the tape works well too. If there was a little reverse bevel, it's possible the miter saw needs adjustment. But with old wood like that, any lack of straightness in the board can make for problems.
