Right, Ignoring percieved performance and presuming all grains are gunbarrel straight and evenly spaced, what number of grains do you think looks the most attractive (and why if you like...)

I reckon somehwere in the mid teens as much higher than that and they tend to be less defined and almost congested looking.

[Talisman]

13 - 18 or 30+ for purely looks

[Colesy]

11

[slogsweep]

10 - 12 grains and I'm happy

7 with heartwood

I used to like masses of grains but after a few mega grainers i like around 10 with no heartwood or any thing just white wood.

[harry kovert]

9-13 for me with no heartwood.

[Mr Cricket]

1 grain, just for a laugh

[ProWannabe88]

10-14 with 2-3 heartwood on right hand outside edge. LUSH

[Six Sixes Cricket]

10-14 with no heartwood.

i love my first h4l with just 8 but I'd say 15-20 with 1/3 heartwood - bit like those salix grade 4's lol

[peplow]

9-13 for me with no heartwood.

bang on for me too, Not impartial to a tad of heartwood but nothing too dark or messy! prefer without though

[Liam-SCCC]

8 evenly spaced and ruler straight

[Apple]

12.

[Maverick79]

Around 10-12 either all sapwood or with a small area of heartwood
