I'm making a large (24"d x 53"h x 72"w) cabinet using 3/4" birch plywood.
One corner (24" deep) of the cabinet will be exposed so a rabbit joint will
leave the edge of the ply showing. The panels are too large to accurately
cross-cut miters using the table saw. I'm thinking of using a straight
edge and a circular saw but though someone here might have some other ideas
about how to make this joint.

TIA

Your idea and a biscuit joiner would likely work. . .Or, use edge
banding and just butt-join with a biscuit joiner.

Thanks Kim,

I thought of the edge banding but didn't want the change in grain direction.
The cabinet is staining dark so it probably won't be an issue except for me
and once it's in place I won't see it again. People are going to be looking
at what's in the cabinet (carpet sample boards for model homes) more than
the cabinet.
