I used thin square-edged strips for the swoop lines on my Guillemot (my first boat) and it worked out well. There were some places that had very long, gradual tapered strip widths, and that would have been hell to do in B&C. The rest of my boat was bead and cove.

In probably doesn't matter much whether you use bead and cove or flat edged strips in most places except where there is a sharp contrast in color between strips. The square edged strips are my preference there, so I need not be concerned that sanding might make the line appear wavy.

: I am just about to start striping the deck of my Guillemot. I want to include
: some curves in the design. My question is, once you have established the
: sweeps/curves is it best the use the bead and cove strips to fill in the
: remaining areas or should I use the rolling bevel?
