🪵 Reading the grain at #TOHNeedham!
Sean Herlihy of Holt & Bugbee takes @KevinOConnorTOH inside the mill to break down the difference between rift- and quarter-sawn lumber. From the way the log is cut to how the grain appears in the final board, each method affects stability, durability, and overall look. It’s a small detail that makes a big impact on the finished product.
