I used a thin kerf blade (0.059) for these strips but thanks for the suggestion. Using my table saw was one of the changes I made from last year when I used a band saw. The band saw has an even thinner blade, of course, but I discovered it's very hard to keep the blade on track causing the strip width to vary too much. The amount of material saved by the thin blade was offset by how much planing and sanding I had to do to fair the boat. I can tell this current build will require much less planing and most of the fairing will be accomplished with a ROS (another new acquisition since the last build).
