Looks great Bob. Was your Kingfisher built in the same manner, upside down building jig, or was it upright? I am only asking, and I know it is early in the build, what your preference would be, if they were different?

Here you go, this shoulder you would want flat(no taper) as this is where your trestletrees would be at the top of the mast. Glad to be of help, if this was, I need another coffee so I can't stay too long

Each line has been marked then cut, the arrows are showing the direction I'll be cutting.
In the fourth picture you can see the sloped edges forming, like what you have and I think look ok
Forgive the unfinished look this is for demonstration only . I left the shoulders a little extreme just for better visual. This just to show how a square shoulder is done and how it looks versus the beveled edge.
Myself I prefer the sloped or beveled edge but I suppose if the plans ask for it.....or what is historically correct.....ultimately it's your choice.
Hope this helps, delete the pictures from your log when you are done if you wish.
Now I have to clean up my floor

Your scupper planks look great, as does all the planking. Super work. I wish I could tell you the hard part is over
