: Here is how I delt with this problem on my first boat I am now finishing.
: This might be unorthodox, but I ended up with very tight beveled joint
: between strips (well, most were tight).

: I used WRC from Home Depot and Lowes, 1" x 4" or 6", 10' to
: 12' long. It comes rough on one side. I cut it into 1/4" strips,
: which were also rough on one side. I installed "flankers" on
: either side of the strong back, boards with a 1/4" wide by 1/2"
: deep grove running the length. After scarfing strips into long strips
: (when I needed long), I place the strip into the groove in the
: "flanker", the edge in now on top. I ran down the length of the
: strip with a very sharp block plane to clean up the edges. Maybe two
: passes on the good side, as many as necessary on the bad side. With a
: sharp block plane, you can produce about as square and clean an edge as
: possible. I held the plane horizontal over the strip.

: I used this same groove to support the strip to bevel as necessary. I held
: the strip to the previous strip, marked the angle of the bevel needed, put
: the strip in the groove, then beveled as necessary. I also slighty beveled
: the side which would meet the next strip, estimating the required bevel.
: It was probably a slow system, but the results were good.

: Personally, I prefer to spend time using a sharp block plane over a noisy,
: dusty router.

: I'm satisfied with the result.

I used some of that same wood on the Disko Bay, just ran it once again thru the table saw and trimmed a tiny amount off the rough side, gave it a nice clean edge.
