quartersaw

Quarter sawing

Quarter sawing is a type of cut in the rip-sawing of logs into lumber. The resulting lumber is called quartersawn, quartered, and radially-sawn.

Quarter-sawn boards have greater stability of form and size with less cupping, shrinkage across the width, shake and splitting, and other good qualities. In some woods, the grain produces a decorative effect such as oak which shows a prominent ray fleck and sapele is likely to produce a ribbon figure.
