i dont mean they separate them if they are cut differently, but usually if you want vertical grained boards you have to look in the pile of forniture grade and thats real nice wood, while if you pick the cedar in the fencing section(lesser quality so you really need to look throught the whole piles) its all plain cut.

: Most wood is flat sawn or rift sawn. Quartersawn is less common, but I've
: never seen anyplace that separates their cedar based on grain orientation,
: so it's all the same price, at least around here.
