What is the accepted(best?) way of orienting grain in an arch? Should the grain run from the bottom corner to the center i.e
/// \\\ or should it run straight ||| |||
Any rules of thumb ?
Strength isn't an issue, it's actually just a decorative piece that will be the bow on a bed shaped like a boat, the arch will be made from walnut with a floating panel of teak and holly inserted into it.
Thanks in advance.
