n the previous chapter we discussed the two types of construction
types for hardwood flooring. In this chapter we will discuss the 3 types of cuts used in hardwood flooring manufacturing.
The wood cut refers to the angle in which a board is cut and this can make a big difference in how the final product looks.
Wood flooring is either Plain sawn, Quarter sawn or Rift Sawn.
Rift Sawn - Rift boards exhibit a clean, straight, vertical grain pattern which typically forms angles from
30 to 60 degrees with the board's surface.
