Thank you for the description. I actually cut both sides of the strip at 3 degrees. That way I don't have to mark anything to remember where the bevel is. I figure it keeps my inside/outside edges easier to keep flush if using the same bevel on both edges. A square edge mated to a 7 degree bevel means something is overhanging somewhere.
I also have various finished edges on hand, both edges square, both beveled, one beveled, some bead and cove, some bead only some cove only. They all work well in specific locations. I rubber band each type together - works well for me:)
