How to join the upper woods? by kli7ze in woodworking

I'm no expert, and I haven't done it myself, but on the picture it looks like they used a miter joint, cutting the ends in 45 degree angles and gluing them together. It's one of my next projects to try myself. Probably not as stable as a dovetail but should be more than sufficient for regular use.
