Quartersawing Animation - Frank Miller Lumber 

This is an amazing animation of how quarter sawn lumber is made. Very nicely done

This answers so many questions. Thank you so much for making this video!

Finally! I have asked how logs are quarter sawn many times. Your graphic is SUPER!! Now I understand. Thanks!

This is a superb video. Thank you for the public service!

probably the top video demonstrating quarter vs rift cut.

That was a very informative video. Exceedingly well done. Thank you for the lesson.

Outstanding explanation and animation. Thank you!

awesome animation, thank you so much for sharing!

Fantastic video! Extremely informative.

What an absolutely fantastic video. Thank you!

Nice example and great video!

Exceedingly Excellent!

Love it... thanks for the explanation!

Excellent explanation, thanks.

This is so awesome! Thank you! :)

Thank you for making this video.

Very instructive - thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the information!

Perfect explanation! We inherited an upright piano that I had always heard had a Tiger cut grain - quite distinctive and beautiful. Wanted to know more and this video explained the method wonderfully. Thank you Frank Miller Lumber!

Such a great visualisation. You get it, even if you don't want to.

Great explanation video, thank you!!

Thank you. I operate an 1824 water powered ‘sash’ mill. Typically demonstrate it with cedar, sometimes poplar, then use lumber in woodwright shop making trinkets for the natives.

Excellent.

I totally get it now thanks man!

love this video

Brilliant thank you

Thank you for useful video

Nice! I award this vid one of the coveted Alaskan Beaver Tails.

Thank you, I always hear this term, but never fully understood it.

Super. Thank you.

Excellent

Well done video

I'd been reading that Gerstner tool chests are made from quartersawn wood. Now I know what they mean. Thank you.

VERY NICE

GREAT VIDIO..I LEARNED HOW TO SAW BOARDS..

wow aweome job expaining

That was absolutely beautiful! Well done.

Thanks excellent video. Is there a book that explains what we have just seen in order to maximize each log of different sizes because here the video shows only one size of logs.

I understand rotating ends of the log on a circular mill but there's no reason I can think of doing this on a band saw mill.

Great job. Please, what software was used to make this animation?

Thanks.

Bravo.

Can you do a video of true (90*) quarter sawing?

Epic

Question... when I saw quarter sawn boards, they end up with an excessive crown. How do I not end up with crowned boards?

Excellent video. Question: why is the remaining "rift" not cut either point up or down, just to try to squeeze out a few more pieces that are more radially similar to a "quartered" board? Is this because of waste, or does it have to do with the difficulty of handling a log in this way? It seems as though the number of quarter-sawn grain patterns could be maximized if the log was entirely sliced like pieces of cake, that is, radially symmetrical.

so how do you cut quarter sawn on a horozontal band saw

Nice during bored are you form the UK.

Why not have a horizontal sawmill just after the vertical one, so you get 2 boards in one go?

this only works on a sawmill that cuts vert, if the saw is horozontal the process is totally diffrent.

instead of rotating lengthwise, why wouldnt you just roll it onto the other face?

now I just have to figure out how to do it on a horizontal mill....

thats only for straight wood

Why is the log rotated and flipped why not just cut 1st board flip that face to bottom to cut second then flip back to cut 3rd?

Instead of switching each quarter end for end for every cut, can’t you just roll it and put the new cut edge down?

Just saw this on Facebook on this group page... facebook.com/video.php?v=571384842995156 Uploaded directly to FB and not a link to your channel. I added a link to your channel in the comments section encouraging folks to come here. Thanks for the video. Well done and you should benefit from the work involved in creating it.

Close, but you don’t use the center

quartersawing changes often these days..
