I seem to be making good progress with the stripping although it is becoming apparent that the small adjustments I have had to make while lining them up and marrying the coves with the half rounds have accumulated to the point that I may have to insert some kind of spacing, particularly around the cockpit area in order to get the best fits for the side strips.&nbsp; Does anyone have some good wisdom to offer on how best to do this.&nbsp; I am noticing that the forward and aft strips may not line up perfectly once I start stripping around the cockpit and would like to minimize the visual disruption as much as possible.&nbsp; Since this is my first build, I'm sticking with the simplest fore and aft runs for the strips.

Any ideas welcomed!

Steve

I had some gaps by the cockpit coaming.&nbsp; I used mahogany strip wood left over from a model ship build.&nbsp; I wrapped it all around the coaming edges and doubled up where needed.&nbsp; It's a tricky job, but ended up looking really nice.

Bluejacket Shipcrafters(see on-line) has a nice selection of mahogony strips and sheets that should work for you.

P.S.&nbsp; I also used 2' mahogany sheet wood as a veneer around the inside of the cockpit coaming.&nbsp; Soaked in water and used CA to apply.&nbsp;&nbsp;A&nbsp;bit of&nbsp;work, but I have had many compliments.
