: Rehd: I gave it a try, and I don't think it came out bad for the first
: attempt. I joined together two pieces of oak, and I also joined together a
: piece of cherry and a piece of yellow poplar.

: I finger jointed the ends of the 3/4" board before I ripped the strips.
: I put a dime in the picture to give a perspective of what the strips and
: finger joints would look like.

: Think it will work?

Yeh, now I see it. I posted it to my favorites and it came up, then when I came back to the thread, there it was. Beautiful! It's a good thing you put the arrow on the left picture. Nobody would have found it. I like the other as well, for a contrasting affect. Now, before everyone gets all excited, you better tell them what the cutters cost and how much it will take to buy the shaper to run them. :) Don't tease like that.
