I'm building a Shearwater 16 and would like to mill some strips in addition to those included in the kit. &nbsp;Does anyone know what the correct radius of the cove and bead bit should be? &nbsp;My guess is a 3/16" radius but I'm not sure.

Thanks for any advise you can give me.

The standard bead and cove set for strip building is 1/4" radius.
