In Response To: I have learned from this discussion. (John Monfoe)

I agree with you on lightness. If I knew then what I know now... I would rip my strips 3/16" and forget about bead/cove... beveling them on the boat with a rabbet plane is just too easy. I disagree with you on decoration. I think a boat should represent the absolute best you can do; people will assume it is your best either way.

I haven't build a Loon but from his site, I think Rob has some really good insights on stripping technique.
