Do you have some form of square? (Framing square, combination square, ect.) If so clamp it to the piece and use it as a cutting guide. Another suggestion, leave the replacement piece long till you get an accurate miter cut. It'll always be easier to cut an accurate 90, so cut your miter first and then cut the piece to proper length.
Jabba:
Cutting a new replacement and keeping if longer is a good suggtestion if you're really bent on getting a perfect miter joint.
I'd Try sanding the part in the picture on the bottom a little (where the joint is perfect), sand, check, sand check.....keep doing this until the pieces come better aligned. This should get is closer.
Wood putty is a captenters best bud. A little smeard in there and sanded, then painted and no one but you will know it wasn't PERFECT!
Other than that, looks pretty sweet. I love your CPO as well as what I saw in the Project Announcement thread.....

Don't give up!

Man....don't feel bad. I've had plenty of 45 degree angles cut with a compound miter saw not match up. Angles are tough. My take is that you do all the tricks and use all the squares and so on to get it as close as you can. From there it's sandpaper and wood putty to perfection.
