Top edge trimmed. So much more relaxed the second time doing this.

I know Sitka Spruce is supposed to be a "softwood" but it sure does give the little trim routers a workout!

Compression bits are fairly fuzz free but a little expensive -- I don't worry about it much, 220 grit does quick work of it.
