Rift & Quartered White Oak
Rift and Quartered White Oak offers a refined, consistent appearance combined with exceptional dimensional stability, making it a preferred choice for high-end architectural applications. By cutting the log at specific angles, rift and quarter sawing minimizes the cathedral grain common in plainsawn material, resulting in a tight, straight grain pattern with a clean, uniform look. This cutting method also reduces seasonal movement, improving performance in environments where stability is critical.
