if you really want to hide 'em, I saw one web page where the guy had
cut a wide "V" down the edges and matched the V on 3/4" wide plywood
edging, so that the edging showed face only.... looked like solid wood
with a line down each side, but no end grain showed...
I thought that it was kind of a neat concept..


I'm trying to picture how to do this... Can you remember where you
saw this? I assume this strip is cut with a router or shaper(?).

not sure where I saw it, but my guess would be the edge is 2 passes
with a bevel bit and router table.. and the edging strip could be made
with 2 passes through a table saw set at about 45 degrees?

Another way to picture what they did was to see it fitting kind of
like a v-belt fits in a pulley... you see the back of the belt, but
not the sides/edges...

Damn, I have the bug now.. I'd run out and try it, but my neighbors
would kill me, since it's 11 pm..lol
