It is the most common method of sawing lumber because it produces the highest quantity of usable lumber; the boards show flat grain on this faces and quarter grain on the edges
It begins by sawing several boards from one side of the log, turns it 90 degrees and saws several more, and continues in this manner sawing around the log
