I am in the process of building a breakfront bookcase (from a picture in a sotherby's catalogue) .
I have built the lower section an need to construct the top. (between lower cabinets and bookcase)
I can not imagine it would be made from solid primary wood ( in my case mahogany) , therefore would the ends be mitred , so that the moulding is planed into face grain, would it be butt jointed, so there is a small portion of end grain showing or would it be constructed so that both ends are end grain.
Thanks
