Cope And Stick

From Handwiki

Short description: Frame and panel technique for decorating doors, wainscoting, cabinets, furniture, and homes

Cope and stick construction is a frame and panel joinery technique often used in the making of doors, wainscoting, and other decorative features for cabinets, furniture, and homes.[1][2]

In cope and stick construction, the "stick" is the molded edge with a cut along the inside of the frame where it is to be joined to the panel. The panel piece that meets the molding at a right angle must be "coped," or given a cope cut, across the end grain of the wood to match the molding's profile.[2]
