Still cheaper than the one that I was thinking of.

Holy cow there are at least 10 diff planes there that would work great. Unfortunately I'm against shelling out for a tool I'm never going to use again. I want tho!

even more simple would be to go buy 1/8 x 1/8 molding (or make it) and glue it to the stand for a raised profile instead of a sunken one.

unless there is a reason for the sunkin profile you are talking about.

I'm after a look inspired by that pic in my first post hence the recessed grooves. I realize the pic I posted has the multiple pieces of wood touching and the gap is much narrower. My cuts will be narrower than my test piece I think.

I don't know Steve I just enjoy torturing myself =)
