Great description of the beaded face frame process, but you did not describe the one detail I have the biggest question about. How do you get rid of the bead from the miter at the mortise to the end of the stile?

When making a frame with mitered sticking, after the miter is cut the excess sticking around the mortise is removed up to the point of the miter. To remove the sticking I cut away the excess with a bandsaw and smooth the sawn surface with a wide chisel.
