Two years ago I made a cypress strip built canoe, but did not add any decorative strips of contrasting wood. Shortly, I will be starting a kayak. I plan to add some sort of design using contrasting woods. I have been giving the design some thought and have come up with a question that I haven't seen discussed in any of the strip building books I have read. Is it best to use strips without a bead and cove where contrasting strips meet? My thought is that strips with a bead and cove will not maintain a crisp edge (joint between strips look wavy) after sanding. Any thoughts?
