While you might easily infer that they involve sawing the wood, the key is in the angle of the saw to the log. And you\u2019ll be surprised at what a difference that angle makes in the grain appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>Introduction<\/h3>\n<p>When planks are cut from a log, there are several ways it can be done. If it\u2019s cut flat down the center of the log, then it\u2019s called plainsawn. In this case, the planks feature more dynamic grain patterns, including cathedrals and arched grain that is present down the middle of the board.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wood-floors\/white-oak-engineered-wood-flooring\/traditional-lamp-shade\/\" class=\"wp-image-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13865 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1.jpg\" alt=\"Carlisle Plainsawn White Oak\" width=\"1000\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1-350x176.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/white-oak-flooring-traditional-lamp-shade-2706-1-600x302.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, unlike many companies, Carlisle uses only the center part of the log from mature, carefully selected trees so that our plainsawn logs consistently contain more of the denser vertical grain for extra strength and stability. Plus, a nearly year-long drying process adds to the stability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is why we\u2019ve been able to successfully create plainsawn wide plank floors up to 19\u201d wide for the last half a decade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Taking a different angle on white oak for dramatic beauty<\/h3>\n<p>With rift sawn white oak and <a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/our-floors\/quartersawn-white-oak\/\">quartersawn white oak<\/a>, the planks are sawn from the log at a slightly different angle, as portrayed in the drawings below:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13864 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog.jpg\" alt=\"Three examples of how to cut planks out of a log\" width=\"1082\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog-1024x479.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog-350x164.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CuttingLog-600x281.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1082px) 100vw, 1082px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This produces inherently stable planks with very straight grain lines and, for the quartersawn, unique ray flecks which add to dramatic beauty of the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the extra labor involved and the fact that so much more wood can go to waste during this selectively cutting process, this increases the cost of the raw materials, and to the client.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13866\" style=\"width: 1082px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor.jpg\" alt=\"Oak floors &amp; Prefinished Oak Flooring from Carlisle Wide Plank Floors\" width=\"1082\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor-1024x584.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor-350x200.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2flooring_oakFloor-600x342.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1082px) 100vw, 1082px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Right: Carlisle Rift Sawn White Oak Flooring.
