Walnut and maple . Finished on the lathe. I stacked cut the walnut and maple to cut the tooth. I cut at a 2 degree angle but the bottom tooth (walnut) fit tighter than the top cut of maple. Not sure why?

Thanks for the positive comments.

Can you tell me why the bottom cut of the stack fit better than the top cut. You can see one side with walnut tooth fits tight but maple tooth is  a bit looser. Cut both at same time at 2 degree cut? Maple was stacked on top of walnut then cut.

could you have cut it going the wrong direction? clockwise/counter-clockwise?

I'm no expert on this type of cut, but I would think the top would cut at a different angle.  If the walnut were on top the maple would have been a perfect fit.  Just my opinion.  I think if you had cut each by itself they both would have fit.  Hope this makes sense.
