Strip: Razor Billed Auk progress *Pic*

Nothing real exciting but I'm almost done with the hull. Those last two strips take lots of trial and error fitting. I know many like to strip over the keel line and trim it back with a pull saw but I like the interlocking strips with this pattern.

Now I am going to have to test my skill with a rolling bevel as the first strip above the chine , because of the flat deck, does that complex twist as discussed a couple of days ago. I am considering taking the hull off the forms just long enough to bevel the hull sheer strip as well. It seems like it would be hard to do while on the forms.

If I am going to take the hull off the forms should I glass the hull first?
