Greetings, I'd like to whittle custom wood totes (and knobs) for my new planes. I can't afford the lovely rosewood sets sold everywhere. Besides, I want to do it myself. (And save my pennies for Hock blades...) So would someone who owns a plane with a wood tote kindly tell me which way the grain runs? Fore and aft? Up and down? (Yeah, make one each way and find out for myself!)
