: It's an interesting thought. But, part of the process of strip work

: additional layers will show, as the top layer is sanded off.

As well as the strange!? finish you would create sanding the boat to get it fair,
an earlier problem you would encounter is the fact that whilst it may be possible
to twist ply strips, you would almost certainly not be able to bend them in the
flat plane, to follow the lines of the "nice curvy stripper" that you seem to have
in your mind. Find some softwood boards cut the strips and scarf where you
need to cut out knots.
My two penniworth! Good luck.
