The various methods employed for finishing the panel mouldings at their intersection

A. The horizontal rails are bevelled on their top edges and have a bead worked near the bottom. The uprights are thus square at the top, and are butted against the horizontal rail and cut askew at the bottom to fit over the bevel. B. The chamfers and heads on the horizontal rails are stopped at either side of the joints so that both ends of the uprights are square and are butted. C. The bottom ends of the uprights are cut similarly to those in A, and the tops finished with the mason's mitre. D. The mouldings are mitred at all four corners. A, B, and C were used contemporaneously during Tudor Gothic and Elizabethan times. D was the more usual method in the Jacobean and late Elizabethan periods.
