: This issue of fitting the ends makes good sense. I skirt this problem
: altogether by routing the peak and keel lines to take a fairly wide strip
: of wood with no beads/coves. That wasn't the original intention tough. I
: just like to avoid fitting the ends of the strips together because it's so
: tedious and potentially frustrating. I got tight, clean-looking seams this
: way and I like the look of the super straight centerline.

: What I wonder about is the quality of fit between strips after it's all been
: sanded down. I milled mine to 0.20" to allow good fits but in some
: areas where there is more twisting and bending the glue lines show up just
: a little more conspicuously. I have a hard time imagining that beveling is
: so straightforward and easy to do if I want the gluelines to look
: absolutely perfect even after epoxy is applied. Do you guys really get it
: all looking super tight?

Is mine absolutely flawless, nope. Only one that's noticed so far is me
