Cool Steve, we will all be waiting in anticipation. I would say two things, make sure that you try and line up the grain lines as best as possible.
And second is make sure you bend the cutaway piece the correct way, otherwise it will be backwards.
Other than that, think it through many many times before your cut the side.
Also, I bend the entire side before I cut the cutaway part off, than bent it backwards in my cutaway bender.
This will help too I think.
Here is the bender.
As you can see I use a heat gun for the heat source, this thing works great, do the binding at the same time.
