I've never used B&C. Somewhere back in the late sixties or early seventies I started strip building with a David Hazen canoe. I used square edge strips and beveled them only where I needed with a block plane. I just do one strip at a time, check the fit, bevel as needed, then glue and staple. I get a nice tight fit and can curve till my heart's content. It was easy then...and easy now. I have worked with wood all my life so that may be a part of it. One thing I have learned is that the slow way is usually the fastest.
