I'm building a rocking horse thingy - actually a rocking lion, and the head assembly will be made up of the building blocks shown in the attached picture (very poor Skethup drawing - sorry :-))
The drawing should be rotated 90degrees clockwise, so A is the top of the head (made of ovangkol), B is the "middle" of the head (made of white oak) and C is the bottom of the head (made of ovangkol).
D is the neck area, ears etc. and are also made of white oak.
Grain direction on D will be up/down in the picture (when rotated :-))
I will strenghten the joints with dominos.
My question is:
How should the grain direction on A, B and C be - both relative to each other and relative to D?
Thanks,
Niels
