Strip: Fixing bad seams

My hull is almost done. I have the two finish pieces to put in. The ones that are straight on one edge and curved the entire length on the other. Does anyone have some pointers for me? I was getting good cutting and fitting the others end to end. I did them all with no scarf joints. :)
Also need some ideas on how to fix up my stripping short comings. I have a few seems that are not as tight as they should be. Another one where the top portion of the pointed end split off and disappeared. I have a little “V” shaped chisel used for carving. I think I can cut a “V” groove and then glue a piece of wood back in. This should fix up most. But that pointed one has me thinking………….

Thanks

Mike
