Jordan, One of the other Swift-Solo builders recommended using a thin kerf 7-1/4", 40-tooth Diablo Skill Saw blades by Freud, used for finish and plywood cutting. I mounted the blade in my table saw with a feather-board and Rip-Straight setup. The Rip-Straight wheels hold the boards flat to the table. The Teflon-coated blade leaves a smooth finish that is fine for cedar strips with minimal waste. I milled my strips from 5/4 western red cedar decking, hand picking the flat sawn boards so that I ended up with quarter-sawn strips, 1/4"x3/4" after running the cove and bead. You can get the cove/bead combo router bits from _http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/_ (http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/) . Look for their Canoe Strip sets. Bill Scheumann USA020 and USA040
