Perhaps I didn't explain what I meant by mitering exactly well. I didn't
mean a picture frame type connexion -- that would be a pain to put together.
Make every other peice a little bit longer, with a mitered edge, so you have
a smooth corner, rather than a 90 degree corner. The shorter peices fit in
to match this, so you would have :

==============================
[]============================[]
==============================
[]============================[]

If that makes any sense at all, where [] is the butt of the cross peice.
Instead of having these meet at the 90 degree angle, meeting with a mitered
edge would make the whole thing look smoother.

Probably still not explained well. :)
