Quartersawn
vs
Rift
Quartersawn hardwood — white and red oak, cherry, and hard maple — is beautiful. It is characterized by a distinctive, straight-grain appearance along with the warm and appealing patterns of medullary rays.
The Quartersawn Process
The Frank Miller Lumber Quartersawing Process
Quartered boards exhibit the most pronounced figure, generally having growth rings at a 60-90 degree angle to the face of the board.
Rift boards exhibit a straight-grained and less-figured appearance, with growth rings at a 30-60 degree angle to the face of the board.
Sustainability
For floors, furniture, mouldings, millwork, cabinetry, and built-ins, American hardwoods are the very definition of green building materials, in abundant and self-renewing supply.
