: It sounds like you guys have worked out efficient schemes for bevelling
: strips but why do it at all?

If you use narrower strips the difference between each one is reduced. The apparent size of any gaps between them is reduced, and the need for beveling is also reduced. You just use more glue, and clean up more drips.

Working with strips which are 1/4 by 1/4 inch should make it possible to eliminate beveling -- but making strips that small would turn even more nice lumber into sawdust.

Just a thought.
