How to make wood joints

Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.

Glue Together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.

Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.

Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
