Hi,
I have recently acquired some strips of Western Red Cedar, so am shortly to order the plans for the Mystery.
The strips I have are 50mm (1.9") wide at present, so need to be ripped into 2 or 3 strips each for building.
So the question is...do I rip into 2 strips of just under 25mm (.9") each, or would 3 strips of 16mm approx (.6" - so just over 1/2") be better?
Whilst I'll lose a little more wood with the additional cut, and it'll be more work (more strips), I figure they'll conform better to the curves of the hull and be worth the effort.
Any thoughts on the "optimal" width?

Thanks in advance,
