Hello All,
Just made the outer casing to an arched clock. The arch was
made by inserting a bisquit into the end grain of (4) 3 3/16 inch long
staves with a 22.5 degree angle on each end(so the wood makes a 180
degree turn). I've got a little gaposis were the top staves join
together. My question for you all is...what method would you use to
hide the gap. My first instinct is to insert a small amount of glue and
the fill with a little of the project sawdust. I could also make very
thin strips of wood and fill, but this would be going 90 degrees to the
original grain. The gap is small (in theory, in reality it looks like
the Grand Canyon)~ .01 inch. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don


Perhaps you could rout out a small 1/4" or 1/2" wide by 1/8" deep channel,
and cut/fit some contrasting wood as an inlay?
