: On some of the Chris-Craft boats it was done with paint!

: You might consider gluing a thin board to the flat side of your cedar board
: before you rip the combination into strips. You can even piece together
: shorter or narrow pieces on the cedar base. Plane, or belt sand the
: lighter wood to get whatever thickness you want. Then rip your strips from
: this.

: That gives you bi-colored strips with the thin wood firmly glued in place.
: The combination is big enough to handle esily. Real tiny or thin strips
: can be a challenge to handle.

I cut my accent strips out of the lightest (I believe it's pine) I could find - 3/16" X 3/16" - actually worked pretty well. However - I suspect my contrast lines are not as sharp as what might be attained using your method.

: Good luck with your project.
