In Response To: Material: Strip grain run out? (Steve)

I did just that with a couple strips on the deck of my Guillemot. One word of advice. If you attempt a bookmatch, dampen the strips with some mineral spirits before you commit to glue. My strips didn't darken uniformly when I applied epoxy, even though they looked identical dry.

Ross

: I have some nice 18-20' strips that the grain starts to run out in the last
: 3-4 ". Would there be any problems using this? (Structural or other)It
: would make for some nice looking contrast on the deck with the tiger
: stripe look it has.
