I'm looking for some opinions here as to whether one of these variations on the cloud-lift profile on southwest style designs stands out as being "better". I'm planning on using this on the front doors and end panels on a large jewelry box. I've got a few favorites here, but I'd like some opinions from others. I think there's some obvious stinkers here too, but ...?
Numbered 1-8 from top left to botom right, 1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8 are the same profile just with mitered vs M&T joints.
1/5 has angled cuts with each angle coming from the midpoint on the edge.
2/6 has angled cuts with the inner cut angled from the midpoint and the outer cut's angle is parallel to the inner cut.
3/7 uses small arcs instead of straight lines
4/8 just uses straight vertical cuts.
Thanks for looking.
