I'm making some curly maple scales and I've almost finished shaping them. One problem I'm having though is that when you put the two scales together, there is 'V' at the wedge end. I guess this happened when I was sanding off the paper/glue from when I first cut the scales. I know this will cause a gap between the thin end of the wedge and the scales, so I need to straighten it out. I've tried sanding it a couple different ways, but it doesn't seem to helping too much.

Any advice on how to get rid of the 'V' gap so the scales fit better? Thanks
