Now that I rendered it, I see what you mean; I'll want all my grain 
going the same way, but, as you said, that's easy enough to adjust. 
Usually to get a good grain, I remember that it goes along the z-axis, 
and rotate no more than 10 degrees in the x-direction, and leave y 
alone.  But then, I'm a neophyte at wood; I mostly just use the 
"woods.inc" textures.
