Hello I`ve ordered the yukon plans and was wandering if you have cove and bead how does that work when you have an angled peice coming to a bead or cove?

There are several ways of dealing with a feature line or chine. You can try to make your strips end up parallel to the line as you strip and then adjust the strip width so the seam aligns with the feature. But, this may require futzing.

An alternative is to put a strip right at the feature line, on the opposite side of the feature from where you are stripping and then strip up to that piece, fitting the strips in as you hit it.

Another alternative is to strip up the side and let the strips hang over the feature a bit, then trim them back to the feature and then strip back to the feature from the other side.

Either of these methods work well and there are lots of variations using similar ideas.
