I suspect on that design, the Disko Bay, that the gunwales originally had triangles added to the ends of the gunwales to get that curve in the bow and stern, not uncommon at all. I'd guess that you'd have to do the same thing with a fuselage frame construction. Wood will only naturally bend where it will, if you have to force it something is wrong.
