Picture frame with decorative splined miter corners

A museum-quality hardwood picture frame designed for an 11" x 14" print. It features contrasting Maple splines that mechanically reinforce the 45-degree miter joints while providing a beautiful, high-end aesthetic. The plan includes a 1/16" expansion/fit allowance in the rear rabbet to ensure glass and backing sit perfectly without binding.
