As to what to call the feature you are working on: I don't think it has a stabilized name yet. It's still new, compared to the weight of boat-building tradition. We're still working that out.

The feature we're talking about is not new. It's been a standard, stabilized feature designed and incorporated into U.S. solo and even tandem canoes for at least 45 years. I've started a thread about the history of this "shoulder" feature HERE.
 
LOL OK, we've got the terminology discussion separated and I'll endeavor to (at least try to) be more accurate.

No pictures today but I stopped by the shop tonight & got 2 more strips on. As both ends need tapered to fit and then spliced in (strips still aren't long enough to go full-length), it's taking about an hour per strip. I'm done with the Poplar now except for that tiny piece in the center so it's almost all Sassafras from here in.

I did pick through the remaining Poplar strips for a couple with vivid purple and I'm gluing them together for the float tank panels.
