Default Fixing Joint Gaps

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.


Rub some white glue in them and sand immediately. Or use cyanoacrylate
the same way. Latter will wind up dark, former lighter.
