1" is pretty deep for such a small frame.

My experience is just the opposite ... with frame sides 2.5" wide, it is
hardly worth using "miter with spline" frame joinery with just a 1" spline.

Now wouldn't a 1" spline be 1/2" deep?

From the OP:

They were splined miters with
the spline about 1 inch deep at the joint.

I assumed the splines WERE 2" wide to achieve this. Other
translations may vary
