I recently ran across a "rule of thumb" for orienting grain on drawer components. It was something like" inside of drawer, outside of tree" or something like that. Could someone verify that for me please? TIA
FWIW. I will be building about 8 drawers. I will be using poplar for all drawer components but the bottom, where I plan to use luan "1/4"". I want to dovetail front and back of drawer and will use my Porter-Cable 5116 dovetail machine(why do they call it a "machine" anyway). Seems all straight forward but I have never made drawers before. Largest of drawers will be aprox
15"x19". Applicable comments encouraged.
