Here's a few jigs that I've built to ease the process along
 This jig is used to cut an approx. 10º angle in my strips, so I can join them
together to create a 20' long strip (no butt joints needed - I suck at
them!)
 Here is the underside. The two bolts align into my radial arm saw base to keep
the jig nice and snug and straight.
 Here are 2 pieces of scrap strip that I use to align the mitered strips. The
left-hand one is a bead, about 4" long. The right-hand one is a cove, about 4"
long as well.
 After I've placed the glued the miter and placed the bead guide and the cove
guide in place (covered with Saran Wrap), I clamp it from the sides and the top
and bottom, to ensure everything's straight on all 3 planes (X, Y, and Z)
 I use this jig to help align the strip when I'm shaving one end to shape.
 Here is a bit larger pic of the strip-holding jig. I cut a slot slightly larger
than 1/4" in a wood block. I then secure the block to one of the forms at the
opposite end from where I'm working.
