- Subject: [NAFEX] Grafting cuts
- Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 20:26:59 -0500
I am a novice grafter with an observation which leads to a question:
When I make my whip cut for a whip and tongue graft, I notice that there is often a slight curl, or cup, to my cuts. The cut starts at a steeper angle and then becomes more shallow. I am using a single bevel grafting knife, recently sharpened per the excellent directions in the most recent Pomona. Should I chalk this swooped cut up to inexperienced hands or to a faulty geometry in my knife?
