Post subject:	Mini-bevel
Hi folks, I’ve been seeing a lot more of what I would call a mini arm bevel lately. It’s possible this has been around for a while, but lately it shows up a lot on Instagram. I have the video that Kent Everett did of a full size bevel with the interior reinforcement. The mini approach looks like it might be just doubled up binding which would also require just a doubled up lining. Here’s a pic I scraped from Instagram. Anyone done one of these and have a process or tips to share? Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Brad, I did what you might call a mini bevel awhile ago. I also learned how by watching Kent's video. He calls it a transitional arm bevel, likely because of the smooth transition from the binding to the bevel. I decided to make this bevel narrower to see what it it would look like. You can take a look at mine to see if you might want do a narrower one. It is a subtle compared to the wider one. I’ve done a wider one too. I think you could make it any width you want… http://www.swiftcreekguitars.com/walnut ... orium.html

I’ve also done one using Kent’s process. It’s on a OOO and it’s been my daily player for several years. I really like the bevel. Steve, am I to understand that you used the same process for the smaller bevel? Steve

I've seen this style on a Taran Guitar which I like. A lot.

Colin - That's pretty. Steve - Yes, I used Kent's process on the narrow bevel.
