shoulder plane you have to work from both sides to the center to keep from
breaking out the far edge. My material is 1 1/8” wide and a wide chisel can take
it all in one go. I haven’t tried Ed’s suggestion of a ramp but that may be
useful too. The V gouge was the worst choice. I found it very hard (i.e., did
not happen) to get an even vee.

before the angled cuts?

Did a knife cut in the center then marked the edges.  Anything more than a knife
cut and I would risk breaking the piece.
