English term or phrase: quarter-sawn oak
Due uomini osservano una panca in legno:

a- You can see the uh quarter-sawn oak.

b- What’s quarter-sawn?

a- Well, back in the day when they would cut a log they would cut it in quarters. It shows these cross grains. Sometimes people call it tiger oak because it looks like tiger skin.

Il quarter sawing è un metodo per segare i tronchi di legno e le sezioni centrali vengono definite quartersawn.
