    Multiple Joints

    100% not a criticism as it’s brilliant you have started some correctly as in angle both edges [half triangle cut off to start] others you have done the full angle for both edges on one edge as in parallel one edge and double the other but as i say comment only meant to clarify why some bits look...

    Butchers block bevel protection?

    to my eyes it looks like the wood curves down dead level with top off the other worktop so the only "V"is the shaped edge on the grey worktop without an actual gap between them?? if that's the case it will just be the odd crumb or small spill, so a damp cloth or soft 2" paint brush would surely...

    Taking bow out of a piece of beech

    i would wet it and overspring it the other way about half the amount as in assuming the high point is around 20mm flip it and place a bit off timber between 8 to 12mm under the high spot and clamp the ends to the bench having said that as its old wood you may just be stuck with what you have...

    first 3 cuts free can give you loads off strips first cut 3 boards cut in half second 6 strips third another 6 so 12 now what you can actually do will depend on machine capacity [thickness wise ] and the operator being willing to restack the bits but worth a thought

    assuming you are working with a length stop have you thought about cutting multiples at once in the same or different orientation or in deed a multiple off both to fit the cut area off the blade and motor clearance limits also its possible to let the trigger go just before the full cut and aim...
