Just found the plans on line. The plans have you shaping the bow blocks(bulnoses) and gluing them to the framing and then to the bottom and decking. I would make them out of spruce or fir as they are a softer wood that will allow them to be shaped easier. One thing I would do is cut a lip into the blocks that will give you a place to glue the deck and bottom to that will leave the deck and bottom flush with the blocks
