I think Jay's suggestion of a short fence makes sense. I will try that next time if I don't do it on a table saw.

Ken, the changing curve of the board after the cut and possibly from the clamping is probably part of it. That would also explain why the sitka cut better. Both WRC boards were picked right next to each other from the same stack. They could have come from the same tree, which may explain the curve.

Now the question is how thin is too thin to use on a Spring Run? My goal was 3/16 strips, and that is what they are at the ends. The worst are 1/8. I know for race boats builders will use 1/8" strips and some of mine are close to that. If it is too thin I will cut them apart and scarf the good parts. If I don't have enough wood when the weather permits I can cut some more.
