Hello Gary:
Made raised panels from 3/4″ maple(dresses out to 13/16″). Used biscuits to join pieces to make up original panels. Cut the bevels and
some of the biscuits show through (in the bevel) on a few panels. Is there a best way to correct or hide the biscuits and maintain the bevel?
Appreciate the help.

Hmm. Tough one if you want to keep that bevel. Hiding the "design detail" under paint or glazing is one option. You could try turning it into a knot and stain/ dye it black or brown. Might be able to rout out the biscuit and inlay some maple there.
But all of these options will take far more time than just cutting off the section and regluing and raising the panel again. My opinion is that it's just a mistake, so take your worst hammer and throw it against the garage wall, pick it up, forgive yourself, and fix the problem. It'll be done. The fix won't take much time and you won't ever be looking at those panels sideways wondering if you can see the goof. Gary
