Hmmm, pondering how you'd do that.... presumably a jig to fit on top

A piece of MDF with a slot cut to take a router with guide bush and
then a piece of tapered wood attached on each side. Clamp to draining
board and make the cuts.

It would be hard to get the pieces accurate and repeatable enough to
get both sides precisely the same by sanding.

A way to do that would be on a table saw using a taper jig against the
fence. e.g. Axminster part number 7726



I saw something about that in a woodworking magazine recently. It is a jig
which tapers so the router cuts deeper as it moves along - but not by much.

Probably take longer to make the jig than do the job.


That's almost always the case with jigs. Generally the purpose is
either to do something that needs to be done on a repeat basis, or to
get an accurate result that can't be done in another way.
