WHITE OAK
A method of
sawing oak so the cut is made parallel to the wood's
medullary rays instead of across. This cut yields a
limited quantity of top grade boards featuring ray
flake, and it binds the perpendicular fibers together,
giving the oak its amazing strength.
Quartersawn
white oak is much less likely to crack, check or warp
than when it is flat sawn. This method is used in
Mission style construction exclusively.
