I'd like to design something soon but am busy with a number of other urgent projects at the moment. If a few people showed interested i could justify the time.

Fair enough, was just mindsurfing anyway, If you did the duflex kit thing how far away is it?
I read a letter in the latest Aust multi mag referring to the article you mention. I haven't got the original but what I did read it sounds to me you need a lot of experience with the method to design well for it.

As far as I am aware, all the strip plank Harrys are done with flat strips. The bead and cove would add significantly to the cost. Also, rough sawn is adequate...
