- How to quarter saw a log the easy way! Using my Woodmizer sawmill I take you through the process of quarter sawing anyone can do!
I thought quarter sawing was difficult and super time consuming and while it does take longer than flat sawing, it isn't and shouldn't be difficult! The Wood Mizer way of quarter sawing is very easy to do and produces great lumber. I'll show you how to quarter saw a log the easy way!
You will get both quarter sawn lumber as well as rift sawn lumber with this method; it's super easy to do, very fast and unless you are after ONLY ray fleck in every board this is a great way to quickly quarter saw up a log!
Let's get to quarter sawing up this ponderosa pine on the Wood-Mizer LT40!

I make it a point to learn one new thing per day. You put me on overload. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Finally, someone that knows the easiest way to quarter saw a log. I've watched several videos of people quarter sawing a log and I've only seen one other guy use this technique. Well done!
Thanks!!
Agreed! With a manual sawmill it is much harder to do unfortunately. My brother and I have an LT15 that is completely manual and the word work is an understatement! We would love some guidance on how to quarter saw properly if you're willing to give us a look. Thanks for the help in advance.
I started with a manual LT10 and found this way the easiest there as well.
I love watching quartersawing lumber. I have watched a lot f videos, yours is tge best by far. Direct, precise and right on the mark. 5 stars! Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Great step by step process, Thank you.
I'm glad you found the process helpful! If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
Thanks for sharing your expertise! Cheers 🍻

7:10 - 7:50 - ". . . one more time, 90º . . ." is the step I missed. Other than that, it's a fine way to quarter saw logs. Thanks for a great video.

Great job !!! How often do you quarter saw softwood? I’ve considered doing it here and there but the demand for quarter sawn softwood doesn’t seem to be there; at least in my area. Great video!!!
Thanks! Very rarely do I QS softwood but sometimes it gives me a look I want. Usually with blue stained pine.
Great video my friend!!
Thanks bud!
What kind of marker do you use to get the lines drawn on the wood to stand out well?
I use lumber crayons. You can get them at hardware stores usually or check the link below in the description for an Amazon link. Thanks for watching!

I need 500,000 of each: cedar, hemlock, alder and aspen.
That's a ton!
How much is this machine?
Today? About $40,000
Everything is easy when you have the correct $40,000 piece of machinery!

Gee, with your Quarter Saw, you lost 70% of your log.
Here is a method of quarter sawing that gets most of your log, almost 100%:
"Making Expensive Lumber Out Of Free Logs"
Good luck !
Not sure why you think I lost 70% of my log (I didn't lose any) but there are more ways to skin a cat and this was about easy quarter sawing ;) It's also the way Wood-Mizer teaches people. However, I am well aware of several ways. Some, that people think are better, are actually more wasteful, some that are actually Rift Sawing are actually better but this one is about ease of doing it, simplicity. Thanks for watching.
@@TheOldJarhead Erik, yes, there are many ways to skin a cat, he-he.
Here is an old timer's way to quarter saw a log, much the same way that you do:
"How to Quarter Saw Lumber, The Old Way? Or the New Way?" by George Wood of Texas.
However, the "old way" gives you more board feet to the log.
Cheers 🙏
Thanks for sharing that information! It's always interesting to learn about different techniques for quarter sawing lumber.
You talk a lot for a marine! Just get to the point and get the job done!
Can't help it, I've got stories to tell even as an old marine!
WHO WANTS 3/4 QUARTER SAW BOARDS
Thus method produces both full quarter sawn and rift sawn boards ;) But if you mean 3/4" then probably not too many but Ponderosa Pine barely shrinks so what you mill is nearly what you get. For me I use a lot of 1/2" stuff
