Ultimate Table Saw

[Farrell]

Well thank you for the compliment. I cut them on the band saw. I cut the 
first section - let's say the high treble piece, and make the 
high-treble/treble dogleg cut on that piece somewhat random - just cut it 
about where I want it (middle of the dogleg). Then I lay the oversize treble 
cap piece in place and position the high-treble cap piece so that it 
overlaps the treble piece at the dogleg. Pencil in the edge. Cut (I'd say 
with finger crossed, but you want all your fingers to direct things where 
you want them) on the bandsaw - I will usually use a miter thingee to help 
hold the angle steady. It gets it pretty darn close. Then the rest of the 
magic is done with the epoxy that squishes out when the cap gets bonded in 
place. I will use a mixture of epoxy that is close in color to the maple. 
After cure, sand - and the job looks like you have more talent than you 
actually have!

Is that what you were looking for?
