Post by buckeye81 »

I want to build the Prospector Ranger. How many strips should I buy and of what length?

Buckeye,
lay a string along the largest mold (usually the center one), then measure this length. Divide that by the thickness of your strips. Remember, if bead and coving, subtract 1/4" for the B&C. The length isn't really important, you can butt joint as you go. The strength is in the sandwich, not the cedar.
