Most lumber is plain-sawed - that is, sawed flat-grain - by cutting tangentially to the log center. ... Lumber may also be quarter-sawed along a radius to the log center, so that the growth rings are at angles of 45° to 90° with the widest surface of the cut piece. Quarter-sawed lumber is less affected by moisture changes ... 6, record 2, English, - quarter%2Dsawed
