What is the difference between Quarter Sawn, Rift Sawn and Plain Sawn Lumber?
When lumber is cut from logs, it is typically cut in one of three ways: quarter sawn, rift sawn or plain sawn. Each type of lumber is dependent on how the log is oriented and cut at the sawmill. The result is a particular orientation of the growth rings on the end grain of the board and is what defines the type of lumber. The type of cut also determines the figure in a piece of wood and the wood’s mechanical properties.

BEST FLOORING INNOVATION did all my wood flooring as well as renovation of both my bathrooms. They did a beautiful job of putting tile in our kitchen backsplash area. The work they did drew compliments from everyone who has seen my house. When I placed the house on the market it took no time to sell it. Best Flooring Innovation gave my house the wow effect that it needed when it was time sell it. Thank you Nehemias and Mauricio for your hard work.
Nehemiah and his company do excellent work. They were a God send to us. They installed new flooring in our home, all new plumbing, and completely renovated both bathrooms with tile, linoleum, and fixtures. They are incredible perfectionists, efficient, kind, and caring. We told them what we would like and they made it happen….we now live in Florida and I wish they would come here and do some upgrades to our home!
