Lemma
against the grain
In general, positioning of the wood fibres contrary to something, for example the tool with which one works the wood. It may be used with an element (mortise) put with fibres contrary to those of a panel, or of two canvases placed with the weft and the warp in an opposite direction (as in double lining).
