Re boxing 
Just checked a couple boxes of woodies (30 units). Most of the better (yer name
brand planes) ones have the grain either perpendicular or at a angle up to 45
degrees (more or less rubbing on end grain).
Some I can't tell because of grunge or patina or whatever we're calling it
today.


Bottom line: in agreement with the other posts)

snow!)
