I made all of the 4 mm plywood layers of the coaming/knee hook the same and just planed and sanded the top of the knee hook to shape. I then glued four layers of plywood together and shaped the inside edge (closest to the kayak sides) to form the bottom lip of the hook and epoxied the piece to the underside of the knee hook with the edges toward the keyhole a little long. Then I shaped the long edges of the lip to match the formed layers above.
