@@makingthings1463I always wondered if you could take a flat sawn board from exactly the middle of the tree and use it like quarter sawn. They always told me that it isn't possible but according to your graphic it is. The growth rings of the middle board would be completely vertical. Did I get that right? Because sawing a whole tree in quarters is more expensive I was told. So I'm theory you could use a flatsawn board if you can choose the middle one right?
@@makingthings1463Trees are such amazing things. They are practically nature's composite material and can bear huge loads depending on the species. I would really like to build a guitar with Ipé wood. It's supposedly one of the hardest woods in the world. Would make one durable guitar. Maybe a bit heavy but you can make weight relief cuts.
Has bothered me for years. I’m sure there is more to it with regard to some woods appearance such as flecking and rays in oak. But I was just looking into grain angle etc. thanks for watching
I have some off cuts of Douglas Fir that I want to mill on the band saw to make some shop bins. I was looking and asking myself "how do I want to cut these?" It was time to figure it out, great video!
Here is a question many may wonder. Is quarter saw floor joist, or rift sawn floor joists or plain sawn floor joists stronger and able to carry more floor load?
Thanks for the comment My gut would tell me the plain sawn joist would be stronger. There are engineering tables that will address this question. Would be interesting to look at sometime. Thanks for watching
Calling rift grain rift sawn is a super common .istake, so common that actoss the whole in dustry it is now standard to use it wrong. Riftsawing is where all boards are cut radialy to the log, which means the rings are all at 90 degrees. This is the most stable cut of wood that can be made, but also there is lots of waste. I'm convinced that lumber yards intentionaly use the term wrong so they can charge more for plain and quarter sawn lumber that has rift grain.
By far the best explanation I've seen for this. The illustrations are very helpful. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
I have been confused by these terms for years. Thanks for the clear explanation and illustrations.
Me too. Thanks for the nice comment.

Great video, great explanation and graphics. I recently bought a sawmill so now I know how to cut and what to call it 😄
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
Best video I've seen that clearly demonstrates the log and all cuts. Fantastic.
Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for watching.
Excellent animations. Thank you.
Thank you.
Superb explanation!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great explanation and appreciate showing the examples so clearly and easy to understand.
Thank you for the kind comment. I’m glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the comment, I am very glad to hear it was helpful in a practical sense. Thanks for watching.
This is the first time this had made sense explained to me.

Can you pls do bending strength test
Thanks for the comment, Tables for information like are available online.
Thanks again
@@makingthings1463 ok, link? I couldnt find any
Yes
