Nice, this is a lot more informative than a lot of examples I've seen.

Erm… the rift sawn and quarter sawn diagram is the same

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

I think it's highlighting the inner and outer layers.

Quarter sawn means the grain is perpendicular to the face. There's plenty of quarter sawn boards in the other methods. Rift sawn means the grain is at 45° to the face. I've heard "live sawn" called "slab sawn" that includes the heart and it cups like a bastard.

This guy gets wood

I watch a lot of boat building youtubes.

Ah - I’ve just noticed the slightly different shade on the inner and outer pieces

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That’s still not the difference though. Rift sawn is cut radially.

It’s for shit like violins.

The way quarter and rift sawn are shown, it would be virtually impossible to cut. There's no through-line that a sawblade could actually make.

There is, quarter the log then cut boards from alternating sides of the resulting right angle.

There are Mills with circular blades. Not every saw has to be a band saw.
