I could keep it flat and square, but if I wanted to round it off, wouldnt I have to do that before I glue it up?
The problem I have, with trying to do this before the glue-up, is getting an exact match at the mitered surfaces. So I do this after the glue-up, which makes it easier.

I've worked with cocobolo and bicote for a few months on 3 different projects, but always employed power tools for everything but the smoothing. Would it be easier to make splines frome one or the other?
Making splines with these exotic woods should be pretty easy to deal with.

I was thinking of making one frame from cocobolo and the spline from bicote, and then making the opposite for the other frame. 2 sisters, 2 brothers, 2 sets of parents...perfect for making 2 different sets of frames.
I'm familiar with cocobolo, but not with bicote. If the two contrast, when you set some pieces next to each other, that should make for some nice looking splines.
