>In "Furniture & Cabinet Construction" by Rae, he suggest gluing the cabinet carcass into a rabbet cut into the top of a base. My carcass is frame & panel so the portion of the cabinet glued into the rabbet would be horizontal long grain.....same as the rabbet. If I made the rabbet 3/4" to 1" deep, do you think I'll have a problem with wood movemen/splitting? I don't think so but I thought I'd throw it out for some comment.
