I am about to start ripping out my strips and need some advice. The best stock wood I could find was clear pine 2"X10"X20'. My table saw and large curf of the mills saw where I bought the wood limit me to first making strips 2" wide. My options are then to rip these strips down to 1" wide (I will loose 1/8" to the curf of the blade). After I run the strips through the bead and cove process, I am looking at strips less than 3/4". Is there an opinion out there that could guide me if I do indeed need to split 2" strips, or is 2" ok for bending around the Guillemot Expedition forms???

Thanks for any help carl
