I am about to start my first boat and have choosen the Guillemot. The material I will be using is primarily Western Red Cedar but the thickness of the boards I have access to is 11/16" thick rather than 3/4". Is this too thin? If I want to use the bead and cove method for my strips will I be losing a significant amount of the "width" of my already thin strips in the milling process? Any advice on these questions would be appreciated.
