Yes. That is how Kent Evertte does it. The side is cut out for the bevel after it is bent and the top is shaped according to the location of the bevel on the side. A piece of bass wood is used as a support for the bevel.
My next step is to bind the body, placing the purfling in its place and clamping with push pins during the binding process. Once the binding is in place, the bevel is shaped with a file, a scraper, and sandpaper. Once that is done, a veneer is glued to the bevel and cleaned up.
This is my first arm bevel. Wish me luck...
I haven't tried one yet, but it is certainly on my bucket list.......
The photo you posted cleared up a lot of things in my foggy mind.
Good Luck!
