At the saw-mill level, quarter-sawn lumber is manufactured differently than plain-sawn wood. Everyone agrees on this.
Unfortunately, end-users often define quartersawn differently than manufactures do. This breakdown creates mistrust and causes claims. It's an odd discrepancy that's easily avoided.
As a wood seller, it pays to know how sawmills market quartersawn wood and how consumers want to buy it.
Solid online references cite both definitions. Thus, even a Google search does not clarify the correct answer.
Anyway, it's a strange anomaly in the hardwood lumber industry. However, I explain it in less than 90 seconds.

Never forget the first time i saw quarter sawn white oak. I couldn't believe it came from the same tree as all the clear white oak flooring I had seen. Quarter sawn white oak is still one of my favorite hardwoods. I especially love the rugged looking end grain, and the contrast to the pillow soft rays that show when quarter sawn. It also put me on the path to become obsessed with non standard patterns in all types of wood. As well as learning what happens to a tree to cause these patterns to form. I kind of feel like an archeologist studying history to give context to things in our modern world. Also obsessed with reclaimed old growth lumber. I feel very fortunate to be in a place where I have access to alot of old growth pine, cypress, and oak.

Thanks for boiling down the issue! But one thing is still foggy: once the log is quartered , can't each quarter simply be tipped over 90°to cut a board, then flipped back 90°for the next board, then flipped again to get the next board? I don't mean flipped end-for-end; just ROTATED on its axis between boards? This does not involve much more than what the sawyer must do for flat sawn boards; just rotate the log after each cut. You understand, Im not looking for ray fleck, just stable boards that dry faster, so I can build my bookcases sooner. I build mainly from PINE, so if the boards are mainly 45°to 90°, Im happy. So! Can logs be tipped back-and-forth, after quartering, taking 1" boards/each pass, and get 45°to90°grain? Or do they really need to be laboriously carried end-for-end before each cut?

Thank you for shedding some light on this. Your explanation makes sense and raises awareness.

Hello my friend. I learned that quarter and flat sawn timber in the sawmills are produced differently. Consumers define this situation differently. This creates inconsistency. You explained beautifully how wood sellers market quarter wood and how consumers want to buy them. Thank's for the information. See you. Great greetings. Best regards.

My neighbors had 2 sizeable oaks felled that were not sick. Wonder why most was probably turned to fire wood. No quartersawn oak. They also blew a lot of the sawdust into the creek.

It’s hard to know exactly why someone cuts their trees down. May be a root issue / maybe the tree is dying or it’s a safety issue. Generally speaking, people like their trees! 🌳

If you are making furniture or other wood products you want to sell is it worth paying more for quarter sawn lumber.

Considering the high cost of woodworking labor (pretty much anywhere in 2022), it really doesn’t makes sense to save a few dollars on materials if there is any chance it will affect the integrity of the product.

I'm a little... Amazed that customers would be that picky without understanding how quartersawn is, well, sawn? I feel like another way to put this might be that customers treat quartersawn as an aesthetic product, but sawmills still cut it to the standards of a structural product...

@@CommercialForest you're lucky we can even still get wood today. The old timers logged just about everything worth anything. They had to live too. They also wanted the best they could get for themselves. Being there first they took it. We're left today with their scraps.
