Me again---John,

I have been setting here looking at the picture I posted and thinking about what I was told I should do and something just struck me. I had tried to do a roll bevel on the cedar strip I was going to put on and I ended up with practically no stock on the end and I would have sanded through it while fairing and I still had the problem of crossing the 90 degree corner edge on the pine which puzzled me also, So.... I think the bevel has to be on the pine strip so I have complete stock at end of my cedar strip. Common sense would make you think it didn't matter which strip the bevel was on but I am beginning to think it does but I can't explain why. I think I can do this now.
