I'm not very good with free handing stuff. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. It will be tough to get a nice crisp line with sandpaper. Fine paper is the key I'll bet. Thanks

Mask it off with thick tape, then use the edge of tape as a guide to cut your line. Leave the tape in place and lightly sand, remove the tape and burnish the transition to smooth it. Then when you apply your finish, go heavy in that area to allow the finish to fill any remaining step from the transition.

First limb unwrapped. Glue line is good, I'm happy. You can see how much reflex I glued in. It was pretty heavy so I didn't push it.

I have to agree with Steve. You ask questions but back them up with action. I love the get it done attitude :OK
Looking forward to the rest of this build.
I use a scraper to get the lines like I want on glued on riser transitions. You can get the shape you want with a little patience.
