Lumber Quartersawing Process

The quarter-sawn process allows for a unique pattern to be preserved. Please view the following video courtesy of Frank Miller via YouTube. Rift sawing (radially sawing) is a technique of cutting boards from logs radially so the annual rings are nearly 90° to the faces. When rift–sawn, each piece is cut along a radius of the original log, so that the saw cuts at right angles to the tree’s growth rings.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

DIRECT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

A potential customer after seeing a couple pieces made with it wanted one of his own. I needed more. Unfortunately, the Rosewood was all gone, and with questions and some computer checking, it was unsure if there would be any more. They offered to take my name and number. I got a call in a few days saying they had some that was still unprocessed and in the mill. It’s on the production schedule and should be in the store in about a week. I’m impressed. My customer will be as well. Well done guys.
