Paul that looks great ! But I believe your skill set is superior to mine when it comes to layout . But mine is basically a straight border so even I can't screw up too badly
. Tomorrow I am going to take some dimensions and make some marks/lines on the existing deck to see how a 14 " border will look , maybe even make it 16 1/2 " ( 3 board widths ) to minimize waste . I can easily see how in my case using all 16 ' boards with no butt seams would look much better . When you originally installed the deck boards up to the border did you cut them tight to allow for shrinkage or did you hold them back an 1/8 or a 1/4 ? And the edges of each board , tight to each other or leave a measured gap ? Appreciate the help
