In Response To: Strip: Fine line strips (Ned Smith)

When colors of adjacent strips are very different colors, regardless of the strip width, a plain butt joint is usually better than a bead and cove joint. When a bead and cove joint is sanded, differences in sanding depth can make the line seem a little wiggly.

I cut the bead or cove off strips when the colors change significantly, such as on the deck of my Outer Island photoed below.

: me. How is this done? The strips seem too narrow to be bead and cove.
