In Response To: Strip: Resisting the urge to start over (Erik Wahlstrom)

: Have any of you have these same thoughts?

Oh I've got regrets on my boat. The patterns would be much more dramatic had I been a little more careful selecting wood colors/tones. People still find it beautiful even though I know it could be better. I figure that I'm not a professional builder so that might be why it doesn't look perfect; not perfect is okay. You could destroy or abandon the project but then you would lose the opportunity to learn on the coaming, hatches, fitout, etc. Besides, we're boat builders not boat breakers :)

Good luck to you,
