[Woodcarver] Carving basswood egg question

[Loren Woodard]

Vic:

I carve many Santa eggs for the Fall Craft Festival at Silver Dollar City.
I usually lay them out on the edge of the grain.  Hope this helps you out.

I started a second one tonight and realised that I didn't 
know if you should center the face on the edge of the grain, or with the
flat of 
the grain, or doesn't it matter?  (I started this one on the flat of the
grain)

So, for all you basswood egg carvers, what is your preference for laying out

faces on eggs with regard the to grain?

Thanks,		Vic H
