The Difference Between Plain-sawn, Quartersawn, and Rift-sawn Wood

Throughout the episodes in the Wood Technology series we’re speaking with Dave Borgatti, a long-time faculty member at Wood Technology Center, about the center's history, program offering, and various topics in woodworking education. Dave got his start in woodworking as a boat builder in Portland, Oregon, for Schooner Creek Boat Works, and ended up at WTC as an instructor in 1992. Since then, Dave has helped countless students—from boat builders to carpenters and cabinetmakers—learn the woodworking craft.

In this conversation with Dave, we learn the difference between plain-sawn, quartersawn, and rift-sawn lumber, and the board quality each method produces. To see a detailed visual of the milling processes described in this episode, check out this animation:
