hi steve,you should be tapering the bow(front)and stern back)and bevelling the side of the plank that you are butting upto.outside edge to bevel down to inside edge. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

I would bevel the top edge so you always have a straight edge to taper onto and let the plank flow natural or you will get the dose of clinkers
