Another warped board question

[bevans]

I have learned a little about joinery since I started this project a little too late and know what not to do but if I can salvage this project I would really like to do that. I am using Curley maple (soft) that is 3/4 inch. I have all the components cut and mortised with number 6 tenons ready for glue up. I have noticed a warping/cupping in a few of the pieces. Can these pieces be glued together for the beveled edges to align closely or will the wood eventually pull apart?

Be fine only thin boards    using decent glue will hold  plus Dominos should be fine.

The dominoes will hold the boards in alignment, but the mitres will not be glued together from day one I imagine. End grain doesn't glue well. I would add a few more dominoes if you can- these are your best bet for keeping the mitre closed.

After the glue has tried, if you have any gaps in your mitres, check out William Ng's video on youtube about fixing mitres. It is really easy and very effective.

Glue like PU construct  glues end grain very well.  But saying that I have not tried PU construct on maple...  So don't know

Yellow glue is always very poor on end grain.

Great! Something else to worry about. I did not know there were different glue types better for various joint or end grain situations. I will research different glues before I proceed. Good idea to increase the number of mortises and will do that also.  I see that I should not have redesigned the frame from a box or butt joint to a mitered joint. Would have been a lot easier to leave it to the original design.

Thanks for your contributions. I was hoping to view William Ng's miter YouTube but it is private and I could not get it to play.

Don't know why the video has been made private.

Basically what he does is put some pva glue in the gap and burnish it closed with a screwdriver shaft. If it is a large gap he does it in several stages.

It's a good trick and I used it myself recently.
