Wood is ideal for fine furniture or flooring.
Quarter-sawing is a method of milling trees into lumber. Quarter-sawn lumber is highly sought after and is a premium grade of wood, particularly in certain species such as oak or maple, where look of the grain in the wood is accentuated by the method of cutting the tree. While rip-sawing is the most efficient (and common) method of milling, quarter-sawing is more difficult to cut but yields much more stable lumber. Because it is more difficult to cut and there is more waste, quarter-sawn lumber is considerably more expensive than rip-sawn material.
Quarter-sawn lumber is more stable, because it is cut in a manner that attempts to get as much of the end grain of the wood perpendicular to the face of the board as possible. Without having grain running parallel to the face of the board, there is far less chance of the board twisting or cupping as it dries, or worse, when in use in a project. The more square the end grain is to the face of the board, the more stable that board will likely be over the course of its life in the project.
Additionally, quarter-sawn lumber of a variety of species has a look that is unmatched by a rip-sawn (flat sawn) board. Oak is a prime example: the grain of oak is much more wavy and displays medullary ray flecks that are far more unlikely to be visible if the board is rip-sawn. Because of these qualities, quarter-sawn oak was the primary type of wood used to create authentic Arts and Crafts era pieces of furniture. Perfect for table tops on banquet tables or tables with leafs since the wood is less likely to cup.
