I am guessing there are some simple methods to do this precisely, to avoid tedious whittling and testing. Any advice?

I use a marking gauge (veritas type), set it on the BP, drop the wheel to the soundboard, lock the height, mark the brace each side, chisel out the waste.

If I understand the question.... :) I have been using this method that Pat shared in the uke forum. Should apply here. Arrow through the pics. It works great.
