Very nice effect! Could you suggest how would I make such cuts for the bottom (football section) of the Redbird I'm building? I'm new to this kind of construction, decent woodworker, not in a rush, and having a wonderful time on the project!

thanks, Steve

: walnut half-strip to make the line less visible. You can also see those
: steenkin' dark cherry coaming riser blocks I mentioned a couple of
: pictures ago. I managed to select pretty consistent white cedar strips for
: the deck, which I'm pleased with. The hull has a more varied look.
