: Kurt,

: Looking at that board, if it were quartersawn instead would that be
: a problem, or would not matter?

Btw, if you want nice edge grain strips you need to cut them from flat sawn boards. The orientation of the strips, for a 1" board, is 90 degrees from the face. Nice for us, flat sawn boards are usually cheaper.
