: I've been breaking all my strips with knots, at the knots, on purpose and
: using them in the shorter applications.

: But I like your idea. The knots should not be a problem in straight areas.
: I'm going to try it! on the bottom first

Be sure that your knots are tight. Look for a dark line around them before using them. Not true on all woods, but most. When they get a dark line around them, they are shrinking away, or rather the wood is shrinking away from them. Don't want to get your boat all stripped and have a knot or two fall out. :(
Food for Thought!
