Many years ago, I built a china closet with a very similar design. It was a project from Woodsmith. Let me see if I can fin the issue and look at how the carcass was constructed. I seem to remember some 22.5° angles.

 

It was in Woodsmith No. 61.

 

Check that corner make sure it is ''square'' Yeaw I'm late gittin heaw.

One nice thing about this design was that the back was flat and didn't go back into the corner. Not as much space in the closet but it pretty much avoided the non-square corner problem

That is really sweet Pat, and thanks for taking us through the build with you.

Be sure to post up some completed pics,

Here is the final product b4 the Mrs. adds the chalk paint. I will post the final after it's painted and hung a little down the road.

that's is some mighty fine work Pat...

@Pat Meeuwissen...

as well as you did your angles, fit and finish...

why the issue w/ staves and the compound angles...

I guess it has to do with the combination of the bevel and taper, I found a link to a jig which makes sense to me.

Just have to work out if it tapers an inch at the top and there are 8 staves, do I taper each just a 1/16 to add up to 1/8 per joint?

that link is for the cut...

not the computation is I read everything correctly
