My favorite choice is a variation on Robert's. I have a Japanese saw
with the teeth all set to one side. It is for cutting plugs and such
on finished wood where you need a flush cut, but don't need (want) the
teeth marks. I scribe the piece, then hold a second straight piece of
wood as a guide and use the pull saw. Makes a great clean cut. Easy
to adjust on the sander and easy to put the cove in after with a rasp.

Since they are very small and light, I can run it anywere on the
layup. They cut on the pull stroke so I think you have better control
and they can make very long cuts where you are trying to fit wedges
that are 6" plus on the bias.

I was fiddling around cutting some strips for some of the small parts
when I
made a useful discovery. The best way to cut strips is to use
gardening
pruning shears. It is quick and very accurate. The cut needs to be
made with
the bead first otherwise the cove can be compressed by the cut.
I am currently building the centre rail and vang pedastel. Does the
entire
unit end up 32” long? Not really sure from reading Bram’s
instructions?
