Maybe too flimsy. If you're using big wood for strength, cutting into

If you do it the way I describe, the wood is cut to match the curvature
of the roof and is supported at every point on the roof. Hence, the
wood doesn't need a lot of strength. Cutting into it won't be a big
deal as long as there's about 2" or so of wood left.
