nice looking stuff Chris.. most of my stuff is done by "ratio math".. it's not a bad way yo go!..... i feel my way along and do trial and error...I build for funtionality.. so being exact doesnt matter to me.. as long as it works..and fills the niche.
I use birch on my Conrads and slope heads.. you right.. they swim deep.. you have to watch the weighting or you get sinkers after you epoxy.. dont ask me how I know this
