Cutting out forms

My friend Jeremy and I are about half way though our two Gillmonts (his Night herin and my Razor Billed Auk). Tomorrow we hope to finish the cutout job and have them lofted. Right now there is a stack of Night Herin forms in my garage that I can't stop looking at (my wife is making fun of me). The next real question is "how do we want to loft these baby's?" We thought we were going to use Nick's center line method (and it makes sense), but lately both of us have started discussing the idea of mounting th eforms each on a 1x6 bolted to the strong back (that's what you get with a democracy, lotsa debate).

Any opinions?
