I have to say, this is one of the best videos this channel has produced. Too bad it's only a minute long. A full video, with examples of which cut is best for different projects (such as flooring, lathe work, tool handles, etc.), how moisture effects the different cuts, and anything else that can be fit into a 20 minute or slightly less video, or series of videos.
Really?! It’s not rocket science. There are many videos out there that go into more detail. This is the video they put out. Do your own video dick. Would you like them to cut your wood for you also?
Given that the rift-sawing process (which imitates riving, from which the name derives) involves cutting every board radially, every board produced will have almost perfectly perpendicular end-grain. So truly rift-sawn boards are described as having "quarter-sawn" grain by modern convention. Meanwhile, the quarter-sawing process (both the tilted cant method your demonstration piece shows and the alternating faces method) will produce only four to eight boards per log that have a nearly perpendicular end grain, while the rest will be distinctly diagonal. So modern convention is to refer to the majority of boards being produced by quarter-sawing as "rift-sawn". When did the lumber industry collectively make this idiotic decision? I'm not arguing that you're wrong--this is definitely how the descriptors are used in the industry today. I'm just wondering how the terms got flipped in the first place.
I know this is an old comment, but I figured I'd mention... That's also why a lot of mills will sell boards as quarter/rift. Is definitely possible to specify and purchase one specific style of cut, but for a large production mill differentiating between rift and quarter is time consuming and expensive.
Hello, is there a book that I could consult in order to improve my knowledge on the% humidity and the effect on wood and another on quarter sawing, in plan or rift? thank you
Organize you ideas Speak it out in your head Then Record a smooth continuous presentation Waiting for you to form your ideas detracts from the quality of your material. You know the material, you can say it tighter
In hungary we call it radial (quarter) and tangental (flat) cuts. But of course we have a word for both plainer then the latin; sugár (ray) for radial, and húr (string) for tangental. Interesting to see where the english or us words originates from.
That's great info but, you need to show the face grain, too. Showing the end grain explains how it is cut or from where of the tree. The face grain.....That's where the real magic and beauty is.
NO, NO, NO... CAN'T... FIGHT IT... my 13 year old self is struggling to get out.... can't hold back... That is one sweet piece of ash! I'm so ashamed... ha ha no I'm not!
You'd be surprised how many times ive googled this and have found nothing even close to an answer as satisfying as this lol

I didn't take Jeff Goldblum be such wood connoisseur
It would have been nice to see the “faces” of each type if cut ! That would make it easier to select the cut that suits the project you are building.
Yes I didn't understand his lesson
Thank you so much for this explanation very very easily understood and well laid out.
Great info, I'll be using this later on when I process wood for myself
This is explained really well. Nice work!
Best explaination I've seen !
well thank you very much. I had know idea.
Which cut yields the strongest board?
Very Good and clearly descriptive👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Quarter sawn looks the best and is perfect for heated floors since the wood then expands towards and sideways which will create gaps
Jeff goldblum, is that you? Is this your new hobby?

Thanks for the comment. This explains why there are some differing definitions/explanations between quartersawn and riftsawn.

Love this mate
Logtastic !
Good explanation. Thank you!

Nice table
Which would be less prone to cup or warp?
I ran across this myself and thought it would help answer your question.

Rift sawn but Quarter sawn is close and less expensive
The last example must require a circular lumber saw where all the rest could be done with the more popular band saw.

@@robertrogers7331 And yet, none of what you said made any sense.

What benefits come from the different cuts?
How were the pieces.
basically
cut 90° from the radius, instead of simply being cut at 90°, please?
When wood? Fir?
Most people seem to forget about radial sawn wood. Probably because it's a very wasteful cut....
👍

Do you have a little one?
Your quarter sawn as I understand it is off. The wide board cuts should be from the outside
thanks sam ill
take 10 lbs of 2x6 newYork strips
Кто-нибудь сделайте подобное видео на русском
I’m lost
Me too
That first example was not quarter sawn. You got two quarter sawn boards, but you need to saw a log radially for it to be quarter sawn.
You explain nothing I can understand and why didn't you make this video in a quiet place?
