It's great to hear everyone's thoughts... there seem to be some common reasons for using either method - both are certainly valid! I'm pretty sure I've made up my mind but I'm going to go ahead and finish this router table that I'm building anyway..... need to route out perfect holes for the strongback! LOL

Mike, nice practice section! that's a great idea to do that, mind if I steal it?

: I am a first time builder and have gone through the same exercise
: -- to use B&C or Rolling Bevel. I decided to use Rolling
: Bevel because:

: 1) I wanted very tight joints.
: 2) I did not care how long it would take.
: 3) I am a bit of a perfectionist.
: 4) I found that the guys who build wood strip Kayaks everyday
: (Guillemot, Redfish, and others) used Rolling Bevel for their
: own personal prize winning Kayaks.

: To prove that I could do it I created a "Practice" piece
: where I took about a two foot section of the Kayak and actually
: built a section using Rolling Bevel. I learned a lot from the
: process and made plenty of mistakes, but I now have confidence
: to continue with the real stripping.

: Attached is a picture of my test piece.

: Hope this helps.

: Mike
