: Thanks Clayton, it looks like your strips are radiating out from the combing,

Btw, running the strips parallel to the centerline could work but I'd guess doing it that way you'd need additional reinforcment on the lip. The strips loaded on the end grain are stiffer than those with the load parellel to the grain, ie: wood strips tend to split if you bend them parellel to the grain.
