Styles of Cuts
How a board is cut from the log decides its figure, its stability, and its character. These are the three cuts we mill, and where each one shines.
The Three Cuts
Face Grain
Boards laid wide-face up, showing the full cathedral figure of the wood. This is our standard for tabletops and countertops, prized for its continuous, calm surface and the most expressive view of the grain.
Live Edge
The natural contour of the slab preserved on one or both edges, then sanded and sealed. No two are alike: every live-edge piece keeps the tree’s original outline, so it reads as a one-of-a-kind statement surface.
Quarter Sawn
Boards cut radially from the log for arrow-straight grain and exceptional dimensional stability, often with distinctive ray flecking. Specified for fine millwork, shelving, and traditional styles where movement must be kept to a minimum.
