    I believe this is the first Red Green video I've ever seen without him using Duct Tape. LOL Nice video. Something like this would've been mighty handy to someone like me 50 years ago. I learned it on a tractor driven buzz saw back in the 70s. Same concept, only shifted 90 degrees. Most people don't even think about the direction of the grain when buying boards. They just buy them and trust that they work as intended. Most don't even know what a Pith is without Googling it. Let alone knowing why it isn't wise to use it in certain applications. But for those who DO want to know about Quarter Sawing, this video is a great place to start. It gives the basics with a drawn out diagram of what each board will look like as it gets cut. Each log is different. Some have a straight Pith and others meander. You never really know until you cut into it. As for the purpose, Quarter Sawn wood is structurally stronger due to the direction of the grain in reference to the width/length of the board. It will withstand the elements better, too. It's a Quality thing that good Woodworkers pay attention to. Depending on its purpose, of course.

    most descriptions of quarter sawn are confusing. The way I put it it's the same as plain/plane cutting ( a little pun there) except you're ripping the board in half so there is only one side of the center. In essence all you are getting is parts that do not go beyond the center of log. I'm a mason and this is what I came up .

    On the last wedge instead of trying to get it leveled up, just put the cut side on the deck and make a bottom cut, then flip it 90 degrees to the other cut side and make a bottom cut. Do this flipping back and forth with bottom cuts until you are down to the "firewood" wedge.

If I ever travel again to Great Britain (or if you visit the U.S.), I hope we can meet in person. I just put together a Stewart McDonald uke kit with my grandson, which he is learning to play, and got a second kit that I'm using as a pattern to build one for myself out of wood off the sawmill (probably walnut with a quarter-sawn sassafras soundboard for the first one). Gotta start somewhere!

    The problem is that the wood that comes off the edges is not stable and tends to warp and bow as it dries. Still, it would be good for small projects, such as pen blanks. Not wasting wood is one of the things I love about running a band saw. On a typical log, I get an extra board or two because the thin kerf wastes about half as much wood as a circle or chain saw mill.

    Thank you for presenting this video. I needed some quarter sawn oak for a steam bending project. I took several logs to a local Amish sawyer two days ago. A couple were white oak and the rest black walnut. We used your process to quarter saw one of the oak logs, 3 different ways, just as you did in this video. And it worked out very well. Now I think we know what we are doing! I had taken 4 red oak logs to the same guy 2 months ago and I had asked him to quarter saw them, but he had misunderstood me (or I just communicated badly). Anyway, that didn't work out very well. So this time, I made a single page collage of pictures of you doing the various steps and it worked out very well. Thanks again, Pete Stanaitis ----------------------

    With the limitations of the mill, this is a good presentation. Quarter sawing is best because, 1) it reduces waste from checking by cutting right through the center of the log, 2) quarter sawing also reduces cupping and twisting, because quarter sawn wood is more stable than slab sawn wood. These hobby mills can produce some quartered wood, however, they are not ideal for producing the highest quality quarter sawn wood, which comes from logs with a larger diameter than hobby mills can handle without whittling the log down. I have yet to see on KZread a mill set up, and an operator, who really knows what he is doing when attempting quarter sawing. That last piece this guy said was destined for the fireplace? No. It too is quarter sawn, that can be handled by the craftsman with his own resawing efforts. One of the points for quarter sawing to remember is, the craftsman who is going to use this wood has tools of his own for re-sawing the quarter sawn wood coming off your mill. If your mill will accomplish the task, the right way to quarter saw is to first cut the log first into four quarters. The rest is self explanatory. And finally, a log with a big sweep can also be quarter sawn, and will produce quarter sawn wood with a big sweep for a special project that requires the curve. Logs with a large bell at the big end can produce lovely wide quarter sawn wood in matched pairs. Good luck. Think about what you think about!

    Exactly right... you use the tools available to their best advantage. In the past, I would quarter a big log with a chain saw, then quarter saw each quarter. I now have the Norwood 38MAX sawmill, which allows for a 14" depth of cut-- much better for quarter sawing larger logs. Actually, looking at the grain, the last pieces have a rift pattern, with the rings at about a 45 degree angle. I'd love to see a video of quarter sawing a log with sweep (I call 'em "banana logs"). Can't quite wrap my head around how you'd do that, other than a few quarter sawn boards out of the center.

    Lots of woodworkers are using bandsaw mills because that's the only way they can get exactly the right lumber for their projects. Next best thing is to have the wood custom cut by a sawyer who can custom cut for you.

    re: the modified cutting pattern around the 11 min mark: What I've done with my Norwood is to set the cut 5/4 off the bunks (or whatever thickness desired) and cut the board off the bottom. That way, I don't have to 1) mess with constantly try to level the small log and 2) adjust the cutting height. Thanks for the vid. Please keep it up.
