Strip building involves bending thin (1/4-inch [6-mm] or less) pieces of wood around temporary forms, edge-gluing them together, and then fiberglassing inside and out. It is a great method for making beautiful, lightweight, small boats. Also called "Cedar Strip", "Wood Strip", "Strip Planked" etc.

One of the things about operating as a small business is, you don't know how your business will operate until you start doing it.
It is very common that the deck and hull don’t match when you go to put them together. Maybe humidity got to the wood between glassing the outside and the inside or, the opposite, the wood dried out. Or it could be that the deck or hull sagged a bit while sitting on the saw horses.
Adding strips to one side of the front deck.
