I appreciate the input. I hadn't thought of beveling the outer third the way
you mention. That would look pretty neat. But it might preclude my favorite
method of having a square edge to run my router around to cut the final shape
of the deck after its has been attached. I have looked at Patrick Crockett's
pics alot. It looks like he went the recessed route (and it really does look
nice). I'm pretty sure I'd screw this up badly.

Did you get the .JPG picture I sent you?
The method I describe does not preclude using the router to cut the decks. Once you get the first (inner) strake of the wales on, fit and cut the decks with your router. Then you can finish adding the other two strakes. After you get all the wales on, you can permanently attach the decks.
Best,
JB
