Grain direction...cutting board.
Furnished content. (from WoodNet.net)
This may be an interesting question: Making a cutting board. I have some nice 3"x5/4 maple that I want to put a few Walnut strips in for accent. The walnut is 3/4", thus it would be easier if I put the walnut in with the grain orientation different than the maple. Thus, the walnut would be 3/4" strips x 5/4", rotating the walnut 90 degrees. Now...when the weather changes and the wood wants to move/ swell/shrink....Will the walnut rise above the maple because the grain is running north and south, not east/ west. Thoughts?
