Hi there

My son has asked me to make him couple of boxes for Christmas. One is a small flat box which is fine. The second one however is a tall narrow box. Beside the challenge of finishing it the main problem is that I don’t have 12”x3/8 wood. Shall I get the corners mitre joint or joint some timber to get 12” width?
I mean shall I just mitre them on long grain lines?
I really appreciate your advice.
 
Lap joints or tongue and groove to get the width, perhaps do it as two 6" pieces on each face? Depending on what timber you use you could book match them.
