For the first minute of this video I thought those logs were huge and in the background, then you touched one and it blew my mind! :D

Wow? I really enjoyed this video. You did a wonderful job explaining all of the saw milling methods used to get the best boards out of a piece of wood. When I go to the local lumber store I will be well informed of how and why the lumber has the grain contour it has. Thank you!

great opinions. crazy how we probably used more of the wood in the olden days than we do now with a hundred machines involved

This was a great video. I've never fully understood what quarter sawn was until now. Great job!

Great job on the video. One of the best I've seen on this subject.

This is the best video I have seen on this subject! Cheers.

I finally understand it, thanks to this video. You sir are awesome.

🌲i loved this video. I know what woods are in my furniture ,but had no idea about all the different methods of sawing. This is just one of those videos that provides information to hand down to my grand kids. (It beats tell them what went into the muffins ) 🍁🐝

Is tangential sawing the same as Plain sawing?

Great video! Can tell you trained a person or two.

Cool

If I am not mistaken, your first example of Rift sawing, at 8:38 into the video, shows pie shaped cuts in the top right quarter of this log, and all growth rings are 90 degrees to the cut, therefore "quarter sawn", right???

Why can’t we use the centre? Is it prone to splitting?

Couldn't get much info from the tiny blocks, I want to use planks and would like to know which way to plane them. I'm getting a lot of tear-out chiseling the edge of the wood. Everyone is talking about petting a cat or pulling rope, and now tiny blocks. Oh well, trees were probably different in 2015 anyway.

Commercially, true quarter sawn is almost nonexistant. Everything is plank sawn and then trimmed and milled. The middle few planks can be trimmed and halved and sold as quarter sawn.
