I am getting myself ready to build a strip built kayak.

My first thought in making the strips is to take a flat sawn board - 3/4 thick and whatever wide I get - and cutting 1/4 thick strips from the side of the board. That will give me "quarter sawn" strips.

-IF- I start out with a quarter sawn board - then cut 1/4 thick strips from the side of the board - that will give me flat sawn strips

QUESTION -- does it matter that I use "flat sawn" or "quarter sawn" strips?
