For grafters with weak wrists, it may be difficult if not impossible to get nice smooth faces on the cuts of scion & stock, on sticks of pencil size. I have better success rates with wood half that diameter, because I can slice clean & straight thru it, and then I get a better match of the cambiam layers.
tc, s.WI, maple & cottonwood buds & a couple cold robins say "spring", but not much else

Size is important. Pencil size or larger. Yes, smaller wood can also callous,
but again why use smaller wood that reduces the chances of success
percentage? Jerry Lehman
I have occasionaly been faced with no choice but tiny scion wood, a cherry plum for instance. Your interesting comment on callusing from top down makes me wonder 'if the dessication problem in tiny scionwood could be solved by dipping a 6" scion in hot parrifin? or wet rag? or?' then maybe one could gain more stored energy by extra long length? . I have yet to solve how to graft with 1/16" scionwood well. A lovely 0'F this am. Del
