: The only things I could imagine being in the negative would be: 1) Too much
: of a good thing is not a good thing. Don't over do it with the
: quarter-sawn material. Doing the entire boat with it will be almost as
: plain as not having any. It makes a wonderful trim, or use it for your
: accent pieces in a pattern instead. Long wide bands, pattern sections on
: the deck and so on. 2) Don't over sand it. It will tend to become lumpy as
: you sand away the light wood and leave the darker. Do mostly scraping
: and/or a long-board and then lightly go over with the ROS. Should look
: pretty Spiffy!!

Oh yeh, Ken, an addes thought. Don't waste the opportunity to run a bunch of Quarter-sawn wood. Cut it all that way and tuck a bunch of it away. Just go get some more regular stuff and use for the majority of the boat. That quarter-sawn will always come in handy on future boats.
