Actually buzz, as you can see from the illustration I provided, rift sawn wood has a higher percentage of lumber with the growth rings nearly perpendicular to the face of the cut side. So it is actually more likely to have balanced figure than a lot of quarter sawn boards or blanks. But a true rift sawn log will yield less lumber and more waste than quarter or flat sawing.
