Rather a thistle to the backside, no?
Having done similar, I have three related suggestions that allow the work so far
to continue:

Finish as-is, kerf at 45 degrees into the corner (catching, obviously, all pins
and tails), and insert a spline to lock the joint.
OrFinish as-is, drill through the whole set at each joint for a dowel, such as a
3mm (1/8") bamboo skewer, to lock it up
OrFinish as-is, and drill into the pin sides (if they are wide enough) to insert
dowels (the a fore-mentioned 3mmskewers, for example) to lock the joints.
My mailbox has taken 7 years with the last solution, despite the best effort of
weather and man to destroy it, for similar reasons (12mm poplar and 3mm skewers,
in this case)
