Actually I saw this discussion somewhere a few weeks back where some people were saying they prefer it the other way about. 
 

im on the clock and have precious little time, must confess I just banged em in without a thought. I agree it would look better with the grain though.

These are good if you have a spare piece of matching timber to make your own matching countersunk plugs

If you are screwing two bits of wood together like that, make sure that the piece of wood the screw goes into first has a clearance whole and not a pilot whole. Eg. A whole 0.5mm or 1mm bigger than the screw diameter. This will ensure that they pull together tight and don't get screw trapped between them keeping them apart.
Nice job though

That little tip worked a treat screwing the heart on. Wish i'd known about that before

Last minute request from the boss for a necklace and bracelet stand. I thought I had a good eye but it proved impossible for me to freehand drill a 28mm hole perfectly true, or even close. These will have to do
