Do you have access to yellow cedar (aka Alaskan Yellow cedar, Or yellow cypress er somthing like) that ive used it for stripping and I think it sould work well. it should be locally available perhaps.

any hardwood will work. you can also saw it to shape if you cannot bend it.

: I am almost finished my guillemot double. Everything is faired and sanded,
: ready for glassing. Except for the laminated trim I would like for the
: ends. Ash is suggested. I can't find any around here easily. What other
: woods would work well with bending and epoxy? Thank you all.
