Ahhh ...I see what you're talking about. Yes, you are absolutely correct
and I agree. You would certainly want the outside edges of the panel to be
dead 90 degrees to the face and parallel to its opposite edge. It was the
interior joints of opposing boards I was referring to.

Sorry for the confusion.

;~) No, I got your point Swingman.. and, you did make a good point and
or
tip.... I think I probably did not explain why glueing up non parallel
boards is "not always" OK. I build a lot of furniture with contrasting
color woods. Very often the tops will have multiple color woods around
the
perimeter. With glued up pieces of contransting wood for these borders
and
these being 45ed in the corners the individual pieces must absolutely have
parallel edges or they will not lighn up properly at the joints.
