Re: Bevel Edge Counter
I buy my beveled edge from Wilsonart. Cut a 1/4 inch groove in the front edge of the counter and install the front edge with the bevel with glue. Finish the top edge with 600 paper.

Re: Bevel Edge Counter
Mike,
Assuming that the seams you are talking about is the black line of the laminate itself then the only way to hide it is with a miterfolded edge product. The company I use is Kuehn and they will make custom beveled edges out of just about any laminate out there. Without specialized equipment you would have a hard time doing it yourself. The turn around time from the factory is 5 days and it runs about $33.00 for a 12' length. Just be careful the stuff is about as sharp as a razor blade.
