Do you mean something like this? You also have to consider suitability for the rest of the boat. My boat is built very much to a work-boat...

Well, it's simple once you are aware of all the options. I honestly could not imagine how to cut that inside groove. Now I have several ideas how to...

I actually thought of this one myself, after all the discussion. It has the advantage that the whole rail is laminated, so the corner piece doesn't...

Yes... this might be the easiest solution. I think I will try cutting a groove on a straight piece of the same wood, just to see how clean it cuts....

Thanks for the correction. Using the right words help. I usually cut grooves or dados with chisels, in fact I actually made a wooden router plane...

After doing some router research at the library, I think you are right. Cheaper too, since I don't actually have a router, table, bits, etc... I...

I'm also weak on woodworking terminology, but I would call that a rabbet. By 'dado', I mean a groove down the middle of the piece. I'd need two...

H'mmm... At first, I thought this would be very difficult, but with a 3/4" x 1/4" plastic spacer to make it easy to maintain the spacing in the dado,...

So now I'm trying to understand the details... Would you pass the curved piece between the router bit and the fence? Perhaps with a comb hold-down...

I'm building a galley for my boat. I'm using 3/4" MDO for the half-bulkheads, trimmed with mahogany. Naturally, I'll need to cut 3/4" x 1/4" deep...

Probably another dumb question: Am I right in thinking that all MDO is exterior grade? I've been reading, and that seems to be the case, but the guys...
