Nope craigd, only true rift sawing gives a cut with every board face perpendicular to the growth rings... and also is the most expensive because it creates the least yield and the most waste.
As you can see from the last illustration I posted, a slab or plain sawn log will yield a couple boards with true rift sawn end grain. A quarter sawn log will yield four boards with true rift sawn end grain. By definition, the log is sawn into quarters, and then cut with just the saw kerf as waste.
But every board from a log that is rift sawn has the end grain running virtually perpendicular to the face. No matter how desperate Queen Stevie and his girlfriend BrentD wish to say otherwise.
Funny how BrentD says he IGNORES my posts, yet so frequently respond to them. You don't suppose BrentD is lying to us, do you?
