If you are building one or two boats - save yourself the time and aggravation, and in the end, expense. NewFound Woodworks has great strips - both red and white - and great service. It may seem like you spend a lot for a little wood, but in the end after all of the effort of finding the right rough lumber, ripping it, milling the bead and cove, I believe it costs less, with better results buying from them. If you are planning on building a lot of boats that would be a different story.
