    Is this the type of thing you're after?

    yes that looks really neat and tidy how ever my mitre saw isnt all to acurate and often cuts slight curves when cutting angles and so the edges dont always line up. how ever i can fix the inaccurate cuts with some gentle sanding( the inaccuracy is only obvious when joined with another peice of wood so some sanding will easily hide the poor cuts. how is that joined? is their dowls that you cant see or is the some other method?

    this is one way



    step-by-step 3-way Miter Joint, Chinese Style - Fine Woodworking

    alternatively,
    you can accurately cut the 3-way mitre and then strengthen it with lose tenons in each face -- I think there's a post from 2 or 3 years ago on how to do this https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/qu...y-miter-33718/
