I was just kidding about "build it per the plans". I guess my point was that you really can't predict how wood will curve on a CAD system, so just define your points (as you see fit) on the table in 2D and bend the wood to fit between them, and then cut the cross members for a perfect fit. Just use the plans as a go-by. Although I've been solid modeling stuff in 3D CAD for 15 years, it didn't make much sense to spend the time on the KR fuselage when I was building it, since I didn't plan to deviate from the plans as much as I eventually did. When I build another one though, I'll do exactly that, for the purpose of running control cables, space claims, etc, for the purpose of solving all of these problems before I actually start construction. But that's another day, and I have a plane to fly in the meantime...
