: The wood you find at Lowes is generally one inch or slightly less, perhaps
: 3/4", thick, correct?

: What strip width do you generally get with that?

: That is after you do the cove and bead routing what strip width remains.

Most of the wood at the big box stores is flat grain so has to be cut at a 90 degree angle to get the wood you want, so the strips are the thickness of the wood. For me I finish planed the one rough side so was slightly under 3/4" wide strips.

What width strips were you looking for?
