Hello Dane,
it appears you've skipped a step and not put stems in either end? Unless you have done this intentionally - you can complete it this way, but it is not typical of strippers. You could just put a great whacking filet in the end and square off the outside edge as you go around the curve. Perhaps this is not what you are referring to, but i noticed you taped the end form, presumably so the strips would not stick. Otherwise looks fine, carry on!
