Both of these will impact the cut more than the shape of the skate.

I'll try again with using a verneer to make them more parallel as shown in your pictures. The Sliding spur (Part P) are receeded as I'm not cutting cross grain yet. Thanks for the pictures - yes you skate looks much better formed.
