I pressed some walnut veneer to pine for the aprons of a coffe table, per below:

I want to apply some 1/8 thick by 7/8 wide (the width of the apron edge)walnut cock beading to the edges of all the aprons (for looks and to protect the veneer edge). My question is what is the best way of doing this? I'm thinking that I'll have to steam-bend the 1/8 by 7/8 pieces for each curve (making a form for each curve) and then make miter cuts where their edges meet at a point (I read about this somewhere). And I suppose glue and nails are my only choice to keep it in place--although I'm afraid that if the cock beading separates from the apron even a little it will show the pine (I need to leave the pine edge unfinished for glue adhesion).
Anyone have any better ideas?!
