This is a little late since you already glued the blanks up, but I would
mitre four pieces so there was "face" grain on all four sides.

By the way, this was how mission furniture was usually made since it
allows for ray-fleck figure on all four faces, something that Mom Nature
couldn't pull off by herself.

Or, veneer two faces, also done to get the "right" figure on four faces.

Yeah I had originally pondered doing that but decided against it. I have
never had good luck with gluing up long mitres like that. I seem to end up
with gaps etc..... Thanks for the suggestion.
