Rift and quartersawn planks have radial and vertical grain instead of tangential grain. This exposes the medullary rays or “fleck” (a hallmark of Arts and Craft style oak furniture) and provides additional stability, making the quartersawn oak floor ideal for use in demanding installations.
For those who prefer a vertical grain oak floor, we mill quarter and rift sawn wide plank Red Oak in Select, Premium, and Natural grades.
