Sketching out ideas for the deck of a Hybrid. I keep coming back to this design, assuming I can find some wood I like the contrast of together. Question is how would your run the strips?

My first thought. start with the darker strips and just keep running off the shear line till I have it where I want it. Just follow the line of the boat till I like the width/size.

I don't know how would be best to the other side then. I think I would need to lay down a couple of strips along the shear line. But I don't know what would be the best way or look the best to fill in the rest of the field.

Thought I would toss this out and see what other thought.
