You can draw out the "V" deck and then use some consistent system for rounding it over. For example a paint can can make a nice round transition.

Draw all the forms in a stacked picture and look for inconsistencies in the spacing. When you put the forms together lay some strips on the forms to check that everything is fair.

: round the top of the beck. will this work or will i have a deck that is to
: low. why am doing this is the strip patten i want to do does not work on a
: v-shape deck.
