Can = one edge glue accurately enough to get a real even subpanel-to-subpanel = joint (no step from one to the other)? I was envisioning gluing up a = whole soundboard panel that was thicker than needed and then (after = driving the panel to a shop with BIG sanders/planers) running the whole = thing through a planer device to get your nice consistent final (before = tapering) thickness. If I am understanding your process, you do the = above on your smaller subpanels, but then when you have glued your = subpanels together, you do any slight evening up by a hand plane or = sanding (or maybe even that is not needed?)? Thanks.
