Hat turning orientation

[Mike Minto]

does it matter if a wood hat is turned end grain, or face grain? anyone with experience turning hats, i'd be obliged.

[John Shuk]

Face grain is how johhannes mikelson does it.

[Dennis Ford]

A hat should definitely be turned face grain. The crown of the hat should be towards the bark side.
