   You probably didn't do anything wrong, The wood may have shrunk a little leaving the glue seam slightly raised. Sometimes I find this to happen more often when the wood was glued up  during high temp. and humidity conditions, then when winter comes along you start to feel this glue line. This has happened to me only 2 or 3 times in the last 30 years.

   t.y. mrbird - - what did you do, if anything, to remove the line. I did glue them in August but the humidity in my basement is kept at a constant 50% and the temperature doesn't fluctuate more than 5 degrees +- 60 F.

   Fortunately, the last time it happened it was the rail & stile joints on a hutch top cabinet made from cherry and finished with Min Wax Antique Oil Finish. The client complained about the slightly raised glue so I went and sanded the face frame with 400 grit silicon carbide paper and applied 3 coats of the same finish. That was about 5 years ago and the last time I talked to him he said the problem never came back. ( we play cards once a month)
