Now that I have the shop and benches set up, tools in place and a nicepile of 5/4 lumber, when I re-saw the lumber into cap strips do I wantverticle grain or flat grain showing on the 1/2" side? I seems to methat the verticle grain would be stronger but the flat grain certainlybends nicer.At least this question is one I know someone has a for sure answer.ThnxRon GipsonNow that I have the shop and benches set up, tools in place and anice pileof 5/4 lumber, when I re-saw the lumber into cap strips do I wantverticle grainor flat grain showing on the 1/2" side?I seems to methat theverticle grain would be stronger but the flat grain certainly bendsnicer.At least this question is one I know someone has a for sureanswer.ThnxRon Gipson________________________________________________________________________________

Honestly I used some of both. For the ribs, I used what worked best to getthe most out of my board. Those that were to be bent I used the flat grain,since like you said it bends easier.
