Strip: Well, I'm done with the recess... [help!] *Pic*

...and, yes, I posted a pic of that (hey! It has a step in it! Just like I predicted!)... Now things are getting serious...

Question:
What the heck should I do near the bow? Notice that I put some lengthwise strips up from the sheer and 3 down the middle. The rest go crosswise. My problem is that I didn't strip close enough to the forms on the left side and so the gap between the sheer strips and the center strips is 1/4" more on the left than on the right! Arg! Of course, the difference only exists where the crosswise strips are small (so it would/will be more noticeable). Arg and arg! How can I make this show less? I have a lot of different patterns going on already and I feel that if I cut out a slot for an accent strip (as in the "Strip: Decorative Deck Inlays" message) that it will just be _too_ busy... But, what else can I do now?

Thanks for any input!
