<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 281977, member: 5066"]Its the "figure" in the wood you get when riven, similar to "quarter sawn" oak only much more figure in riven. Look at your second pic at start of thread, that should have the same figure as riven oak but does not, therefore it's cut by a saw and not riven. And, if early or 17th century it should be riven, not sawn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
