I suppose, but that's a pretty bizarre technique. Probably not so good
either if you're looking for a really clean cut with perfectly straight
sides (which may not matter in this case), but an interesting suggestion
nonetheless.



It is actually a common technique - used for a less common purpose.

I made a big cove sut for some custom crown molding that way.
