The centre strip, and the 1/4" cedar strip, were the thin pieces. So most of the material had to be removed from the top and bottom strips. For the first side I just plowed into it with the sander, but on the other side I started with the plane, and came back with the sander. Be sure to press evenly, so you remove the same amount from both top and bottom strips. All in all, it worked out very well, the gunwales look (and feel) great.
