Quarter sawing. Quarter sawing or quartersawing is a woodworking process that produces quarter-sawn or quarter-cut boards in the rip cutting of logs into lumber. The resulting lumber can also be called radially-sawn or simply quartered. There is widespread confusion between the terms rift sawn and quarter sawn with the terms defined both with ...
Rip cuts produce lumber of different cuts such as quarter sawn (A), flat or plain sawn (B), or rift sawn (other image). In woodworking, a rip-cut is a type of cut that severs or divides a piece of wood parallel to the grain. The other typical type of cut is a cross-cut, a cut perpendicular to the grain. Unlike cross-cutting, which shears the ...

Wood grain is important in woodworking and it impacts aesthetics.
Rift sawing is a woodworking process that aims to produce lumber that is less vulnerable to distortion than flat-sawn lumber. Rift-sawing may be done strictly along a log's radials—perpendicular to the annular growth ring orientation or wood grain —or as part of the quarter sawing process.
Lumber is the most common and widely used method of sawing logs. Plain sawn lumber is produced by making the first cut on a tangent to the circumference of the log. Each additional cut is then made parallel to the one before. This method produces the widest possible boards with the least amount of log waste.
At some point in the past there were images attached named quartersawn and quartersawn2. Why were they removed? The remaining image seems to be the least helpful for anyone coming to the page. I checked the images in Understanding Wood and they are much more useful. As it is the image in the article depicts a corner case example of quarter sawn ...
