WHAT IS A RIFT CUT – QUARTER SAWN?

Rift cut is radial cut – vertical grain. The rift cut shows standing annual rings only. Medullary rays are shown.

THE ADVANTAGES OF RIFT CUT BOARDS

Rift cut boards are more stable and show straight surface wood structure. This creates planks and boards with a beautiful grain and the standing growth rings significantly increase the standing of a door frame or table top.

Another major advantage of the production of rift planks is that they are much less prone to cracking and are therefore very well suited for outdoor use. Only rift boards made of oak withstand even strong sunlight or strong wind – without cracking.

RIFT CUT – DRYING THE OAK BOARDS

Selected to length, double end trimmed, heart cut off, that´s how we pack our OAK packs. Under roof we gently air dry in perfect climat down to 28 – 30 % moisture content before we vacuum kiln dry in our modern vacuum system down to 8 – 10 % moisture content. With long term experience we generate maximum kiln drying quality. Best color and no cracks. On the Circular saw we randomly check the inerior quality and color of the kiln dried OAK.
