: HI Jesper,
: If you are going to cove and bead your strips, I would suggest you plane them
: all to the same thickness. The EXP. Single is already a difficult build
: without having to deal with mismatched coves and beads.

: Larry C.

Sorry, forgot to mention that i do not do B & C.

Just liked the really smooth surface of the new-planed strips :-)

But after some tests, i can see, that there will be need for planing in the tight turns and along the "keel" as well, no matter if i use planed strips or not.
