I've been making my own picture frames but the joints are off slightly so I
have to resort to filling the joints and painting.
What would be a good way of making these cuts so the miters would line up
tight enough to be left natural or stained?

I've tried a hand miter box, My 10" power miter saw, my table saw....

So what is the best way to get that cut at exactly 45 degrees.

TIA



I have a small dedicated 45d miter sled that I use for cutting edge
banding strips, frames, etc. on the table saw. It is the type that
has a 90d 'V' with the point of the V aimed at the saw blade. It works
very well for me. You should be able to google up a set up plans or check
out a good book on table saws from a library.
