Different schools of thought on patterns in a strip built boat. I like taking the donor wooden beam and cutting it into book matched strips that will wrap the boat in what appears to be a continuous matching grain pattern. If you select wood that's fairly uniform in color, you can get what I consider to be gorgeous grain patterns.

I prefer the more uniform color to the contrasting strips of different color.
