The Technique of FURNITURE MAKING
Grooved and moulded frameworks
Grooved frameworks present no special features. The width of the rail tenons will be less the depth of the groove and also of the haunch, which is essential to fill the groove in the stile, and the joint should be cut first and the groove
worked afterwards. A typical example with raised panels is shown in 226:1. In rebated/ rabbeted frameworks with stuck moulding, i. e. mouldings worked in the solid and not glued on as separate pieces, the rebate is worked as before, followed by the moulding which must be to the same depth, while the cutting away of the
moulding on the stile and the mitre junction on the rail is left to last. The mitre cuts are made with a brass or wood mitre template as in 224. (See also Mortise and tenon joints, Chapter 17.)

Dowelled constructions can be used for all framed doors in lieu of mortises and tenons, and adequate strength will be attained if the seating of the dowel-pegs is not less than 1 1/4 in (32 mm) either side of the joint.
