One of the most straightforward explanations I have heard - thanks!
This man taught me more in 6 minutes than 30 minutes of reading ARE materials. Thank you!
I finally understand what the fuss is all about, thanks.
Thanks George. I've been working with wood for many years and never fully understood the differences between these two methods of cutting lumber. In a few minutes you very clearly answered all my questions. Excellent!
Thanks for simply clarifying the difference between quarter sawn and rift sawn wood. Took 70 years for me to get it,
The best explanation on quarter sawing!
Very clear and logical explanation. More people at woodworkers stores should see this. Thank you.
Jeez, where were you when I was in shop class in high school? Best explanation of plain, quarter, and rift sawing ever! Thanks so much for posting, need any interns?
Wow great video and good job explaining. I now understand the process. Thank you
This is a spectacular video and explained so cleanly. Well done sir; thank you!
So glad to hear this was helpful!
I learned so much in that 6 minutes of video! Thank you!
I've been wondering the difference between the three cuts for quite some time now and have NEVER found a better explanation than this. THANK YOU.
You answered a question that I've wanted to know for a while. You gave an easy to understand demonstration. Thanks.
Thanks for a very simple, yet a straight forward explanation.
Now I know. You make it very easy to understand. Thank you.
2020 and I just found this site! Great visual explanation!
Well George I've never quite grasp the differences between these two different sawn methods before until now. Its very simple the way you've explained it, other folks have complicated the day lights out of it, so that I could never quite get it, until now. Great Job on explaining these differences thanks. George.
This is absolutely priceless. Anybody who even plans to build anything with wood should be required by law to watch this first! LOL Hard to believe it's been 3 years since somebody left a comment.
Not one unnecessary word in a perfectly clear explanation of a potentially confusing and boring subject. Thanks.
Thank you... excellent work. Your generosity is much appreciated.
Now I get it. Thank you!!! Great explanation and you cleared up a lot of misunderstanding. You didn't mention its properties with musical instruments, (especially with spruce) but armed with what you gave us, we can extend the basic concept to other applications. Thank you again!!
Great, very clear, and under standing info. Great video.
This was excellent. Everyone on UA-cam needs to take a lesson from this guy.
Chris Sullivan you sure? At 1:46 he seems to be taking the pith...
Best bit of knowledge I learned today, thanks. Cheers.
My guitar-building life has changed because of this very very simple video.
Wondering how the tone would change with quarter sawn wood though.... forgive my ignorance.... I have a few Martin's and they sound great....
As has my drum building
High-End Hand-Crafted Guitars mostly rely on Quarter-SAWN soundboards & tonewoods
berringaboy I came here trying to find why quarter sawn is best for the neck
One of the best explanations ive found on you tube so far. Thank you
Great explanation. Thank you, George.
Thank you so much for such a clear and simple explanation... you were so easy to follow/understand... this is not the first video of yours that I've watched and you are a great Teacher.... thank you
The art of teaching is to take the complex and make it simple. This you have achieved, thank you now I finally understand.
Excellent video. I had my Carpenter/Builder create my TV surround with quarter sawn Red Oak at his recommendation... so glad I did... it came out beautiful just as this gentleman said in the video.
Good demo and great explanation. I finally understand this. Thank you so much!!
I agree, best explanation of quarter sawn boards that I've ever seen. You made that so simple to understand. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Wow... I don't know ANYTHING about wood, but this video helped me in my quest to match our wood island with wood for our countertops. Very clear and concise! Still a mystery, but at least I know what it's not, lol.
Yes, the plain sawing process inherently produces some pieces that have quarter sawn characteristics.
just thank-you. nothing else needed
Thanks Phil! This helped me get my jimmy understood!
This is exactly what I was looking to learn. Thank you.
Some of the best information is available on this channel. Keep up the great work!
Straight to the point and very well explained. Thanks!
Thanks guys, so clear. I'm about to quarter saw some W-R cedar a bit more scientifically than normal, and this was a tremendous help, Andrew SW England
Thank you for the explanation. I always heard the terms and now I know what they are. 👍🏼
Best explanation I have ever heard or seen great job
Thank you! Visual, hands on, easy explanation. Perfect! : )
simply short but very effective comparison
Omgoodness thank you so much for explaining that and for the visual! I finally get it!
Great! Thanks for the feedback! Happy woodworking!
A concise & excellent explanation of the process. Kudos! Many woodworkers don't realize that the quarter-sawing process can produce a percentage of plain-sawn boards when the grain rings are more like ovals than a perfect circles. The same ruler lines on a less uniform cookie would show how this happens.
Thanks for this. Great simple explanation that’s helped me immensely.
Perfectly explained. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your teaching ability
Great video. A thing I would add is that vertical grain as in quartersawn is better for application where wood is bent, such as bows or for steaming and bending. Flat sawn wood will more easily delaminate and break with bending stress. That's also why tool handles have the grain oriented direction of strike.
Excellent point, friend!
So for the pros out there. Quarter sawn is best for technical/detail work. Cabinets, furniture, etc... plain sawn is fine for framing, siding (at least 1" thick), etc...?
Excellent video
That is an excellent explanation of the differences between plain sawn and quarter sawn
thanks
Now there is 6:21 worth of knowledge that I didn’t know I needed, nicely done.
Thank you for a clear explanation, much appreciated.
One of the best explanations!
thank you after all these years i finally have a Clear understanding
echoing pretty much everyone here, this is an EXCELLENT video. No one could ever explain to me how my favorite wood (quarter-sawn white oak) was produced. As a bonus, I was wondering what they did with the pieces that weren't perpendicular and then BOOM - that's rift sawn wood. again, great job to all involved!
very good video, easy and simple explanation of a confusing concept!
The flame patterns look nice.
Excellent explanation and demonstration. Perfect.
Fantastic video, thank you!
I`m 77 now & never have had it explained like that, I knew the difference but now I undestand
Fascinating and perfectly explained!
Thanks for such a great video. We have always loved quarter sawn antique furniture and this explained how it is done from the cut stage....super!
well done. excellent explanation. Suggest an updated HD version. Video a bit rough.
Thank you for the excellent explanation & demonstration 😊
Great, simple explanation. Thanks George...
Thank you! That is the best explanation of quarter sawn wood I have heard.
good explanation great effort simple learning learnt a lot.
Thanks for this: I'm a British carpentry student studying in Germany and this sort of thing is really helpful when I'm not able to get hold of a woodworking concept in German and need a bit more explanation. Thanks...
A big thank you.You just enlightened me about quater sawned wood for guitar which always baffled me thanks again
Great demonstration and explanation thanks
Perfect education, thank you.
Terrific! I finally understand the difference.
Thank you ! Splendidly clear !
Well done George. Best explanation I have seen.
Great video !!!!! Thank you !!!!
Thank you! Happy woodworking!
Very helpful! Thank you.
excellent good job in explaining the difference
Actually, about half of the boards that you called "plain sawn" are "quarter sawn"... and half of the boards that y0u called quarter sawn are somewhere between quarter sawn and flat sawn. No matter how you cut a log, some of the wood will be flat sawn, and some will be quarter sawn. Some wide boards are both.
Well explained Thanks so much.
Great video and I was with you all the way until you got to rift sawing. Another site implied that a rift sawn board was better/more desirable/more expensive than quarter sawn but.....wouldn't the straight grain of quarter sawn be best? Seems like the somewhat curved grain of the rift sawn board would be more likely to cup, similar to flat sawn.
Hi John. I agree with your assessment. I'd prefer quartersawn in terms of both appearance and stability. Also, quartersawn is normally more expensive in my experience.
Thanks

Brilliant video
Excellent demo
Exactly what I needed to know
Excellent tutorial.
Thank you. Lot of people don't know this. You would be shocked at the people that don't know the length from the width of a board.
Plain saw wood is used for structural purposes generally speaking.such as in rafters and floor joist and even stud ..they may cup but have a stronger breaking point.
Good explanation!
Great explanation.
Very informative, thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
