It looks like I may be able to get my hands on a large, newly fallen white oak. It seems that white oak in particular is often 1/4 sawn. I've worked with plainsawn white oak in the past and had a lot of wood movement. My question is, what are the reasons for choosing to mill white oak 1/4 sawn?
-it's more attractive?
-more stable?
-both?
-If you had the chance to mill up a pretty darn big, straight white oak, would you 1/4 saw most of it, all of it?
Thanks!
