Chips ‘n Tips 2: Feel the Grain

Time for another quick tip, get out the salsa and guacamole and let’s talk about grain direction. Sometimes it just isn’t clear when you look at the board. I say don’t worry about it and use your fingers instead.

Of course there will always be boards that won’t cooperate and even this tip won’t help, but I think with 90% of the wood we work, your fingers will point you in the right direction.
