I am stripping the deck on my King and I am stripping parallel to the shear at the bow and stern. The strips are kind of twisty/curvy here so my miters aren't as neat as I would like. Any suggestions for improving the appearance of the joint(s)? I thought I might saw a thin gap down the centerline of the deck and fill it with a thin strip. But I'm not sure how this would turn out.

I have only stripped about 2" away from the sheer so far. The strips are now running pretty flat at the miters. My second idea is to live with the joints I have. From here, what if I strip only one side and let the ends run across the center line. I can then saw down the center line. When I strip the other side, I would only have to taper the end to meet the saw cut. Thanks in advance for the advice.
