Quarter Sawn Oak is obtained by milling the oak wood a particular way. At the mill, the oak log is quartered first. Then the saw blade is run perpendicular to the growth rings of the tree. In doing this, the oak takes on a very distinctive look with a tight, straight grain. This process is labor intensive and less of the tree is turned into building material, so Quarter Sawn Oak is more expensive than Flat-Sawn Oak.
