Yes very happy, the overall look of the second build using a rolling bevel was much better than my first build using all bead and cove. I was a little intimidated by the rolling bevel method at first but the learning curve was very brief and when you consider the time spent repairing the little flaws associated with bead and cove I think the rolling bevel method was faster in the long run. That bead and cove joint at the seam really helps in aligning the two halves along with ratchet straps and a wide putty knife to work the seam together with minimal damage the wood. Good luck with your build.
