: I switched to beveling a good while ago and was really amazed at
: how easy it was. I got perfectly tight joints. Here's a 2"
: radius rail on a wood stand up paddleboard being done in
: hand-beveled strips. Notice how the strips wrap around the rail
: about 3/4 of the way down the board and so the bevel angle
: changes. I pretty much just guessed at it at that point and it
: came out very tight.

The problem with open joints is people planning on the flat and not at an angle, then you create a hollow that won't fit against the next strip. It's easy to do, just have to be sure that the plane is always at an angle relative to the strip.
