Second - THE MAIN QUESTION. How would you handle the details of the
connection between the plywood facade's radius curve and the ends of
the beadboard? Would you lap the bead board ends under the plywood
and have the end grain exposed to the front? Would you butt the ends
of the beadboard to the plywood and have the plywood edge exposed
below? I think I am leaning toward the second. If I go that route
would you do anything to finish the plywood edge or just paint it as
was done in the picture above?

I'd do the second BUT I'd cover the curved ply edge with a board
extending back maybe an inch (and probably forward 1/2" or so) so that
it is flush to and laps the bead boards a bit. Run a molded edge on the
back bottom edge and - if extended forward of the ply, an edge there
too. Maybe bullnose...
