Strip: Cutting coves by hand is a PITA

Cove and bead is fast, and pretty easy, until ya have to cut coves by hand... but on the other hand, using a hand plane to cut a rolling bevel seems to be harder to me... I would like to try it on my next adventure though, as I think it will give a better outcome, just based on my very limited experience. Deck is about half done. Enjoying myself. Recently retired, and need something to do. I live in the PNW, so should be good places to test it out when I get done,although I have never even been in a kayak... maybe my kids should go first! Back to stripping, just waiting for glue to dry, and thought I would vent!!
