mitered corner
Forty-five degree seam
A mitered corner is a joint where two pieces meet at an angle, each cut to half that angle so they fit together seamlessly—typically 45 degrees each for a 90-degree corner.
Picture frames, molding, and trim work rely on mitered corners to create clean, professional-looking joints where no end grain shows: The carpenter checked that the mitered corners were perfectly flush.
