Quick question, looking at the drawing and piles of pre-prepared wood, what sort of timescale from initial idea, to drawing preparation, pre-sizing wood and conditioning, before you actually start work on a piece?
Looking forward to seeing this progress.

A lump of wood planed square and with a 45deg angle cut on one end. Clamp it to your work where you need to pare at 45 and slide your chisel along it until you have your subject timber on the same flat plane as the 45deg block. Simples.

I'm sure there are many different and more ornate ones but that's it in its most basic form.
One day Rob will be practiced enough to pare to the line without one
