Just an argument in favour of B&C; the shape of the bead and cove IMO allows for a 50% stronger glue joint if you take into consideration the extra surface area created by the radi. A tighter fitament of strips is almost guaranteed especially for a first time builder. Half the circumference of a .250" dia. cove or bead is .392"long giving over 1/8" more surface area. I did find it a challenge to keep the thickness of the strips at .250" +- .010" coming straight from the table saw. You definitely need a vernier to check them. But what better excuse to purchase a thickness planer? What better excuse to the wife than being safe in a stronger boat? Win win.
