When making your feature strip, I recommend you make the pine strip 5/8 inch on the bead side since about 1/8 will be hidden by the cove. This will make them appear the same width when stripped.

Why 5/8"? I figure it's 7/32" wide
The beaded side should be 1/8" (visible) + 3/32" (my cove depth) = 7/32" wide. 5/8 is way wider than that?

I got careless and read your pine strip as 1/4 not 1/8 and went nuts from there. What I should have said was make your bead side wider to account for the depth of the cove and make the exposed pine equal. Sorry.
Making progress on the feature strip; next time I'll go for a simpler feature strip without so many glue ups. You can see the double diamond taking shape. I'm going to let the glue ups cure a day before hitting the drum sander. After that I can rip them into strips and join the halves together to make a full diamond shape.
I hand planed the pine accent strip close to the final width; the router table will complete that later. Did I say lots of hand planing; I love the sound a sharp plane makes.
And yes it's crooked but that will not hurt anything.

I'd like you guys to feel free to suggest ways I can improve this thread; I'm trying to include enough details/pics to keep it interesting but not too many that it's boring.

Bump, any progress?

Thanks Gary.
You did a beautiful job, and now the posts will stay around for another year. I must have been out in the woods when the completion thread was posted.
