Screwed up the accent stripe
I've finished my accent strip of three 1/4" strips laminated together, 2 dark red border a white WRC. I ran it throught the planer this past weekend and it looks awesome. Unfortunately I forgot to account for the material removal during the bead and cove procedure (brought to my attention by Gl...
