   I think that joining two pieces which aren't flat is asking for trouble if you are looking for a nice tight joint.  But don't dispair!  Milling a shoulder on each piece as wide as the other is thick will provide a flat surface.  You can cut them by hand or by router.  I believe that some dovetail jigs are capable of joints this size (I could be mistaken).  Depending on how big/heavy each piece weighs, you could possibly cut the joints on the table saw with a crosscut sled with a tall fence.  Keep the live edges!

   Seems like you could do this with a standard box joint aux miter fence jig with a 1/2" spacer peg as if you were making 1/2" box joints. But instead of slipping a 1/2" dado cut over the peg, line up a 1" cut on one side of the peg, clamp it and cut, then line up the other side of the cut on the opposite side of the peg and clamp.  ??? Establishing the first 1" cut would seem to be the most exacting part.

   If you build it he will come.
