I will say that after fairing/sanding, the faceting was far more pronounced in the (concave) interiors of the hardwood strippers I built my kids. I suppose I should take that as reassurance this "faceting" is not too difficult to overcome with the more visible convex exterior.

That makes sense - easier to knock off a corner than hollow out a strip. That said - is the "faceting" necessarily a bad thing? I guess it depends on the effect you're going for - might be one of those things where you'd want to be sure it looks like an intentional design decision, rather than just a lack of attention to detail. I haven't seen enough examples in the flesh to know what people do - are there designs with intentional faceting?
