Great video. Finally makes sense of the cuts. Thank you for posting!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Information given here by Peter is worth gold. I wish I knew these important lessons on wood movement and usage of different cuts.

Thanks mate. Great advice for me. Enjoying the learning. I'm about to cut a blue gum log. I've had problems previously with timber bowing mainly from spotted gum.

I'm 40 years old now and have been woodworking since I was 10 year's old. I'm beginning to get into the more advanced stages of furniture building and I believe I've learned more from this video here than any other out there. I also am going to be purchasing a new woodmizer band saw to harvest my own hardwood from my farm so this is really going to help me alot when making decisions on what cuts to make on my logs.

Are you a human being???

I've been cutting black ash for pounding into splints for adirondack packs and other basketry. It's basically quarter sawn with heart centered. I've watched every video on the subject and picked up some good ideas. This was a great explanation on the subject. I recently learned the best grades of boards are on the outer parts ( of big logs). I had already heard that was the case for my application , ash splints , but is where the most stable boards are.

Thank you! Best 7 minutes I've spent so far learning woodworking. You've completely demystified quarter, flat and rift sawn boards for me.
