Panel drying and finishing

[David Love]

I prefer to have any finish in the glue joint not that it probably matters
if it's only a bit but I really want the glue joint at the inner edge of the
inner rim to be solid.  If you are worried about unfinished wood being
exposed just allow the glue to spread slightly beyond the rim to cover all
the unfinished wood near the joint.  The glue will seal the wood just as
well as the finish will.

The problem I've had here is 
having the possibility of a little bare wood exposed along the liner when 
looking underneath, for that reason I now favor a little extra finish for 
look's sake, this leaving perhaps a small amount of finished soundboard in 
the glue joint.
