Did you cut the 1/4" groove down the centre of the frame?

Corners are easy because of the way it's put together - no mitres.. The 1/4" tenon you cut in the end of the one piece fits into the groove you've already cut in the other. I'll see if I can scan some sketches or something over the weekend and put them up..

If you're planning on using expensive hardwood, you could always do a test run on some cheap softwood to get the hang of it..
