A friend at work gave me several hundred board feet of rough sawn black walnut. It's been sticked and drying in his garage for about 10 years. I'm gonna joint and plane most of it for some furniture i wanna make. But I'm also gonna set some aside for pens. My question, for you guys that have turned walnut, is which grain direction would look better. Should I rip it along the grain to make blanks or crosscut it? Perhaps some diagonal cuts. I'd like to keep my experimentation to a minimum.
