: I might possibly get the award for most anal storage of strips. I kept all of
: the strips from a particular board bound with jute, stored overhead and
: labeled with length and color. It may sound over the top, but it was
: really easy once things got going to be able to pull the exact length and
: color I needed.

Looks Impressive Marcel. My canoe building buddy buys several hundred Bd' of redwood at a time and spends days cutting and stacking in bundles, just as you have, and each bundle is labeled with some sort of number and letter code...
I truely believe if you took one stick out of a bundle he could tell you which bundle it came from..

Anal.... maybe, but if you want a nice set of strips that match in grain and color .... ??

Multiply what you have by about 10 and you would have his rack full... it's incredible.

If you're gonna do it right, that's the way it's done...
