Hi Douglas, By "stem forms", I think you mean the bow and stern forms or molds as Mac calls them on pg.87 of Featherweight Boatbuilding. If so, these pieces don't get a bevel edge at all. Only the laminated inner stem strips get beveled and only as you work your way up so you'll know how much to take off. The angle of the bevel changes slightly as you approach the keel.
You're shooting for a nice flat gluing surface between the strip and the inner stem.
Check Mac's book, page 15 for some pics.
I apologize if I'm misunderstanding your question.
Ian
: Hello All,
: I have a novice question please.
: I am bezeling the stem forms and find that I should have placed the
: stack if inner stems onto the end of the stem form prior to
: bezeling.(?)
: Should the bezeling of the stem form and the inner stem be done at
: the same time?
: I tried balancing the stack of inner stems pieces on the outer edge
: of the stem after the stem was bezeled and it seemed awkward.
: Thank you,
: Douglas
