In Response To: Mahogany Strips-Will it work? (Tim LaGosh)

: Thank you for all your help. I have contacted a local hardwoods supplier and he agreed to trade me enough Western Red Cedar to do the boat for about one quarter of the mahogany I currently have. This way I will be able to use some for trimming the boat and still have enough left over to do other stuff. (Scott-thanks for the guitar suggestion. I have thought about it often and have a good freind that works at Hamer who could give me lots of advice and guidance. He used to build archtop jazz guitars in Mass. and knows more about guitars than anyone I know). Based on the posted suggestions I decided to use the band saw for the strips. I dont have a planer or thickness sander so I think there will be less waste and more consistent thickness with the table saw. Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.
