In Response To: cove and bead (Butch)

I've built a bunch of strippers and have yet to try cove and bead.

Many people sware by cove and bead; I think, because the strips lay much smoother and easier. Cove and bead also has the advantage that full length strips are not as necessary because the cove and bead help to hold adjacent strips which may other wise spring out where they are joined end to end.

One disadvantage that I see is in making complex stipping paterns as I do. I fear that joining the ends of strips at difficult angles would get to be too tedious. I just use my block plane to cut the ends of the strips to fit.

I am sure there are some regulars to this BB who could add more.
