Accent Strip
On my Bob's Special, I made the accent strip laminated with Port Orford cedar and mahogany per Michne's website. It turned out nice and the lines were very crisp, What can I expect if the accent strip on the next boat is not laminated but just a different colored strip ..i.e. mahogany strip, Port Orford strip, mahogany strip etc.? The strips from my last (and first) canoe were so uniform in color I never really had a light colored strip next to a dark colored strip except on the accent strip.

Re: Accent Strip
Hi JD, that's a good question. I just ran downstairs to look at my stripper. Basically, from 18" away I couldn't tell the difference. At 6" I saw varying degrees of crispness. The bead/cove joint is very crisp and straight but it would be hard to match laminations that are jointed. I guess my opinion is to make the scale of the feature strip bold enough so it won't really matter much. BTW, I am a big fan of stripping without bead/cove but that is really a different topic.Juneaudave wrote:On my Bob's Special, I made the accent strip laminated with Port Orford cedar and mahogany per Michne's website.
