In Response To: Strip: Mystery : to C&B or not ? (Paul Hayward)

The time you lose in hand beveling strips is gained by not having to mill coves and beads. I have used both methods and find not difference in building time. What I have found is I get much tighter joints on bevels than on C&B. I agree with Nick that beveled strips are more suitable for tight bends and tough spots in building.
