Shoutout to the old timer who showed me how to read a cabinet's grain direction
I was at a shop in Portland 10 years ago and this 70 year old guy grabbed my hand, pointed at a cherry door, and said 'you cut that panel going the wrong way and that finish will crack in 2 summers flat', and I've never matched a grain wrong since - anyone else have a mentor who saved them from a dumb mistake?

Always gotta wonder if "wisdom" is just survivorship bias dressed up nice.
