: As for finished strips, quarter-sawn grain on the face generally
: looks most "professional", and is also easiest to work
: with all things considered. Plain-sawn strips have that problem
: of uneven sanding due to fluctuating hard-soft-hard grain
: pattern.

Got it, this is what I was getting at. I could see a 1"x10" board being problematic this way, depending on which way the grain is running. I'm going to stop by a few lumber yards today and if I can find what I'm looking for.
