Block Plane

I will tell you that there is no better tool for trimming and fitting cedar strips than the lowly block plane. As we start to fill in the bottom of the canoe, we need to fit the bottom strips to those on the sides. The easiest way is to scribe the angle on the strip, hog off the excess with the band saw and then true up the edge, trim and shape a bead to fit in the cove of the previous strip. 
Besides cedar smells so nice when you plane it.
