Hi Malcolm,

I think I'm just going to terminate the stripe at the recess and pick it up on the other side. I'm planning on using a thin strip of walnut to border the recess. That's my next challenge. It looks like I'll have to tape it in place until the glue sets up. I've got some other little details I'm going to set into the recess deck behind the cockpit.

I'll try to not wait as many months before posting another update!
