Hi Andrew,

Way to go on the cedar find.
The strips look full width, If so try busting them in half on your table saw.
They will make that sweep easy.
With both halfs glued back togeather after they are on the forms it will be the same as a full width strip.
You could place a dark thin strip between them and create an accent at the sheer.
A heat gun is the best way to limber up the full width strip.
Have fun building.
