Strip: stripping near cockpit cutout - Guillimot

I am almost finished stripping the deck of my Guillimot kayak, using mahogany with walnut and basswood swoop inlays. (The hull is cedar and is glassed already.) I am finding that there is a steep differential in height of the forms from form# 9 to #10. The deck in front of the cutout area is angled up quite high and the deck behind the cutout area is almost flat. On the sides of the cockpit cutout there are a few strips that have to make the transition from the very low. flat area to the very high angled area and this seems almost impossible. It is probably only 2-3 strips on each side which is the problem area. Any advice welcome.
