Craig, I am making strips next week from red wood, from an old stash of old growth clear wood. This wood is more flexible than new cut redwood I make 1 1/8 strips x 1/4 bead and cove. 19 feet long. All verical grain. All strips will be bundled as to the board and numbered as I cut. I don't know where you are but I do not ship. I am in Fresno California. David Barrett 559 876 3217
