I think it sounds easier in some ways too, Chip. My concern with that method is getting the bend at the joint for the keel. Maybe that is boat/design dependent? For the SS, the center strips are flat but they twist to vertical toward the bow and stern.

: Hi Patsy, I used method #2. I thought about doing other methods but, by the
: time I got to that stage, I was so eager I went for the path of least
: resistance. The bottom of the boat gets very little face time anyway...

: You basically strip one side of the football letting each strip pass across
: the centerline. You go back and trim a straight line when you're done and
: then strip the alternate side. A rabbet plane is the only tool that can
: really smooth/trim the centerline. Stripping the other side of the
: football is harder since you have to miter the ends of each strip. I think
: overall it is less complex than the other methods you described.
