Plain Sawn vs Quarter Sawn
Making Quarter Sawn Lumber
Operating a chain saw is dangerous work and should just be done by somebody that either has really competent supervision or perhaps knows what they're doing and is not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs. If you're given the job of producing quarter sawn lumber utilizing a chain saw, then take notice.
The first thing to do is actually put the log in a position that won't make the bar of your chainsaw strike the ground or even the supports whilst the actual sawing of your lumber is in progress. If the log has a diameter that's a lot more than the length of the actual power saw then you can let it rest on the ground. Otherwise you need to lift it off the floor on to sawhorses. Both positions need to have the sides of the log supported to make sure it does not roll and harm you before you are ready to transfer the actual bits of the log.
Before you decide to cut something though you need to make sure you have guide supports along the length of the log. The top of the actual guide supports ought to be level. It should be approximately three eights of an inch from the place that you would like to cut along. The guide supports should also not touch the actual log, nor should the guide. The guide is generally a truly heavy plank that will support the weight of the chainsaw without bending or even jumping.
Then you will want to mount the actual power saw to enable you to start to cut your lumber. Before you decide to cut though you need to make sure that you are not going to hit the ground or the supports with the power saw. You also need to ensure you have your own safety goggles, shoes and hardhat in place along with your gloves.
Only then can you begin the chainsaw. Place the saw on the guide plank and lightly drive it through the length of the lumber. Once you reach the end you need to turn it off and move it far enough away from the sawn lumber. Take away the facilitates and permit the actual half logs to drop to the ground. If the logs are really big it can be a wise decision to place chains below where the logs are going to fall to ensure they are easier to lift afterwards.
Then you repeat the process with the half logs. Only now you are going to be quartering the actual lumber, not halving it.
Now you will be ready to cut your planks. Arranged the quarter logs on saw horses an set your own power saw or mill to the correct thickness for your planks. Cut each log very carefully to make certain the actual planks are uniform. These types of planks are generally cut from the quarter log with the bark side down. You do have to keep close track of how much log you've remaining though to ensure that you don't end up sawing through your saw horses. This needs to be done to all four quarters. Once that's done you have finished the job of creating quarter sawn lumber!
