The Lumberyard for Model Shipwrights

To begin the right side of the draped start with a stop cut along the lower fold line.	click on photo for a larger view

Cut a series of slivers then deepen the stop cut, this will remove the slivers of wood. At this point the depth is not critical, you just need to remove enough wood to create a trench.
When the lower fold is complete make another stop cut to define the left side of the drape. Use a pointed blade and poke a series of holes along the laser mark.	click on photo for a larger view

When the grove is deep enough you can take long sweeping cuts along the edge producing a single thin shaving.	click on photo for larger view

Looking to the center of the drape you can see the angle that was cut along the edge.
