[Below] Ever have one miter that doesn’t quite close? Here’s a trick I got from somewhere at some time.
[Below] Dab some wood glue on the open miter and work it in to the joint. Wipe off any excess, but don’t use water.
[Below] Go over the joint with your sander. A random orbit sander works best. The saw dust from the sanding fills the joint. Note: this won’t work on wide gaps unless you’re painting the piece.

Have used that trick many a time.
One other trick I like to use is stain and finish the frame in my case face frame and then before the finish coat put some colored putty to fill the joint, don’t do it before you put your first coat of stain and finish the putty can seal the wood around it and won’t let the stain soak in.
Just my $.02

Good tip, Dave! I’ve heard this one before, but it’s good to be reminded.
