Stripping

Fitting the final strips on the back deck of the microBootlegger Sport.

All that is left to strip is the back deck. I need trim to the feature line between the side and the back deck.

With the center accent well centered, it is just a matter of fitting one end of the strip and getting the grain alignment to match the other side.

Getting the centerline exactly in the center helps assure the strips on either side will be a perfect mirror image.

Adding strips to one side of the front deck.

Getting back on track with the book match pattern after discovering a mistake.

So, I found a couple strips out of sequence. I had to strip off the strips.

Fitting in the Whiskey strip of the closing strip on the bottom.

Here I trim off the strips at the feature line, add an accent strip along the trimmed edges and then complete the stripping of the rest of the deck

This is the Strip Built Petrel design.

I scarf together sheer strips and then strip the deck up to before installing some accent strips at the deck feature lines
