The grain is part of the story

Natural variation can guide a considered choice.

A closer look

Natural variation can guide a considered choice. Look at the task and the materials before choosing the method. Use tools only with suitable instructions and the skills the work requires.

A practical starting point

Try a small, reversible arrangement or sketch. Record the question it answers and what you would change in another attempt.

Keep the observation

Write a brief note about what you noticed, including the setting and what made the detail useful. Return to it later and decide whether it suggests another small step.
