All end grain

[NGLJ]

Having experimented with all face grain a friend said "why not all end grain?". So I made the attached. It certainly gives a very different look.

Different, for sure ! !

And on a pen . . . . quite acceptable and interesting ! ! !

And not limited to pens . I often do end grain S&P shakers from 2x4 s .

End grain is quite appealing when used intentionally. As long as you realize the visual differences and plan for that, I really like end grain products. Different sanding, sealing, finishing techniques - for sure; but a very nice appearance.
