Yup, but all Western red cedar. Just selected some different colored boards from the stack at home depot (a local discount do it yourself store.) I tried to match strips from side to side and built both sides at the same time. I selected the two strips, one for each side, then put those on and selected 2 more etc. It did make the two sides sort of mirror imaged. Now for the Glass!! I decided to put a graphic of a "Black Skimmer" (a local bird) on each side too. Tried it out on the back bulkhead to get the feel for it. It came out as expected so will now put them where they show. This bird has as graceful lines as the Guillemot and is even more agile. If you are not familiar with the black skimmer, click the link below.
Good building to you all.
