Lumber Cuts
Quarter Sawn lumber is produced with a log is quartered then plain sliced. This method increases the stablity and moisture resistance over Plain Sawn at a slight cost increase due to additional waste.
Quarter Sawn lumber is also known for producing a beautiful ‘fleck’ pattern in species like White Oak and Red Oak.
Rift sawn lumber can either be produced as a compliment to quarter sawn lumber or can be cut specifically as rift sawn. With rift sawn lumber, the rings are typically between 30-60 degrees, with 45 degrees being optimum.
The rift sawn method produces the most waste, which also increases the cost. Rift sawn lumber is dimensionally stable and has a unique linear appearance.
