"Sure, beveling the 
rasten is a reasonable presumption of necessity, but a flat rasten isn't 
the death of tone as gluing panels down to flat cutoff bars and fish 
will indicate." 

Ron,
Clarification please. Is tone compromised when the board is glued to a
cut-off and fish, if they are flat, rather than crowned? Or, do you put a
complimentary crown in the cut-off and fish? In the past, I haven't worried
about that and haven't had a problem....welll.....a percieved problem. Just
wondering.<G>

Best,
