The topsides are done. A white accent
            strip marks the beginning of the turn of the chine. I keep
            accent strips to a minimum, because I prefer understatement,
            and the hardwoods are heavy. Some builders use staples at
            the formers, but I find staples quite brutal, so I am using
            veneer pins to hold the strips at the formers. Veneer pins
            make a small neat hole. I try to keep them evenly spaced on
            each strip and in a nice straight line. I place a pin in
            each plank even if it is not required; it looks better that
            way.
