Default RE: Balsa grain direction

I prefer all grain run parallel to the spars unless there is a strength advantage to following the leading and trailing edge. One option is whats in black on the attached pic and someone else suggested what is in red. Your suggestion is doable but a lot of work on a multi taper wing.
