Prettiest number of grains
« on: April 08, 2011, 01:55:30 PM »
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.

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.
