JFT - If the grain is tighter on one side than the other, You are correct. For some reason I always check that before orienting the plug for hooks and lips.

And I thought I was over-thing it. Turns oout I was only thinking just enough!

Dave I was thinking black over yellow or black over olive. Skin would be dark side out.

Numbskull, tools take all the challenge out of turning wood! I had one plug blow up on me this morning and had a bit go when I had the chuck in and the plug went flying and caught my left hand pinkie. Ouchhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! It left a mark. Are you on duty Monday George? Need some pointers. You can come here or I can go there. Got to get kid #1 back to BU tomorrow. Call me.

Why even try.........
