Hello,

Please take a look at these pics of hardwood flooring pieces, which all came from the same bedroom floor and if you can let me know if they are plain sawn, quarter sawn, rift sawn or combination?

Thanks

Without seeing the overall floor, you can't say definitively, because even if you purchase quartersawn wood, you can still have a percentage of others in there. That being said, I'd be confident judging from the pictures that this is just run of the mill; little bit of everything.

Ya, a lot of rift, but there is some of everything in there.

Yep, some of both plain and quartered. There is more quarter than plain in that panel.

Rift and Quartered. Its a stock milling mix, and will have some plain sawn within it.
