[QUOTE="John Offerdahl, post: 15366, member: 128"] An interesting question, and one which has sparked a lot of debate. I can't personally say that I favor one over the other at all; rather, I find each finish to be special and unique. A straight grain represents not only the utmost perfection of the briar surface but also of the briar growth; even a couple of small imperfections fail to detract from the beauty of it. A properly done sandblast, while traditionally the mark of a piece of wood which was somehow less than perfect, is, in and of itself, a work of art. The good blast allows the grain of the wood to still shine, yet also has a craggy texture that is both a tactile and visual pleasure. I would take the sandblast over a poorly grained smooth piece, of course. [/QUOTE]
