OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as flat sawn wood, plain sawn wood is produced by making a cut on a tangent to the circumference of the log and then making each additional cut parallel to the one before. Because it’s the most simple, cost-effective way to mill a log into planks, this type of wood cut tends to be the most readily available.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plain sawn lumber, also known as flat sawn lumber, is the most affordable lumber, and thus, it’s the most common. The annular rings, which are the growth rings you’ll find when viewing the cross-section of a tree trunk, intersect the board’s face at 30 degrees. In manufacturing, this is called a tangential grain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flat grain lumber is milled with the annual growth rings running parallel to the face, creating a unique and prominent grain pattern on each piece. Since knots start in the center of a tree and grow outwards, any knots found in flat grain lumber generally will be round or oval shaped.
