I have a gap. About a 32nd wide. 



 

Any way to neatly fill this?

Burn in stick?

Move the mortises closer to the inside corner of post to beam and shim the outside end of them, got any matching veneer scraps? The most seen side, the face you are showing is correct, you've shortened the hypotenuse correctly. Bearing is snugged up with something to wedge between the bearing end of the tenon and the end of the mortise

If that is the top what is at the bottom ?  could you raise the  post ?  split the diff. The vast majority will not notice 1/64th .  And of those that do ,most of them will not mention it .

Any reason you can't just create another piece to replace?
Epoxy in lieu of wood glue is a prudent option as it will fill gaps, whereas wood glue will not.
