Try this with a well sharpened spokeshave or drawknife, for broader comparison. I'd put my money on the spokeshave being the quickest, easiest, and most controllable. Also, I prefer a wider chisel when doing things like this, but YMMV.
:D Indeed, a spokeshave would be super fast compared to either a chisel or rasp. A molding plane with the correct profile would likely be the most precise and fastest.
@@allenwc agreed. Thankfully, there are myriad tools we can use to get these jobs done. No single right way--but plenty of wrong ones, if we try hard enough :D
Oh certainly, Chisel in the largest removal, then clean it up with a finer rasp, and finish with sandpaper or a card scraper. There are a lot of options for sure. There are even planes that can do the job in one pass. For myself, I try to use the simplest tool for a given job. A short bevel like this I’m most likely to use a chisel and finish with a card scraper, then burnish the bevel for durable corner. But for something longer I might grab a molding plane, or take the time to setup combination plane. I also have a few simple profiles in scratch stock. I like your thinking.
Being a newbie, I like the rasp. Seems more controllable…
Yes, A rasp is going to be much more forgiving. Any mistakes are easily cleaned up, not so much with a chisel.
But more skill development with the chisel? A cleaner look for sure.
Indeed, it is also a good place to practice fine chisel control, as far as it goes, it will be seen, but it is also somewhat forgiving.

what about both? Remove chunks with the chisel then go in with a rasp?
