It depends on the look

It all depends on the look you are after. I have seen some strip built boats with 1/2-5/8" (12.75mm-16mm) wide strips. I used strips close to 1" (25.5mm) wide and 1/4"(6.5mm) thick. These were left over from a strip canoe I made a few years ago. If I where to do it again, I would make the strips thinner maybe 3/16"(4.8mm). The width is more a function of looks and perhaps stripping goes a little faster when the strips are wider. Good luck
