Name of this joint please?

[Glynne]

I've seen this joint used for the dividers of jewellery box trays and had thought they were called "birds mouth mitres"
However a quick Google only seems to give me the standard type "birds mouth" joints used on rafters and for joining "staves" etc.
Is there another name please?

I'm assuming that these would be hand cut using a 45° guide block for the V groove and a similar guide to trim the tenon (for want of a better description)?
Thanks for looking.

If I were gluing a guitar neck, I'd call it a vee joint.

I think that I would rout the blue part and probably hand plane the yellow.

V tongue and housing or V tongue and groove (depending on the grain orientation) is what I've always known them as. Can be executed with power tools (router and V groove bit plus cross cutting on a table saw, for example, with the blade tilted to 45º, or with hand tools (saws, shoulder planes, hand planes, etc, perhaps with a guide(s) if the wood's meaty enough, but if the material's pretty thin I've usually just made a few marks and eyeballed it freehand. Slainte.

isn't it just a through dado joint but with a V shape instead of the normal shape?

I have always know them as Vee Groove or Vee Groove Housing and used to cut them on my Morso Guillotine for box trays.
