Alright. We didn't exactly know how to present this info, so we might have to revisit the topic of quarter sawn woods and the adventures they offer to your woodworking a few hundred more times. The bottom line is that quarter sawing is one technique for slicing logs into usable lumber, and that technique yeilds some wildly awesome and different results depending on the type of wood.

One such result in certain woods is called "ray fleck figure," or sometimes a more simplified to "flecking" or "rays." Or whatever. No one knows because, after all, who is the singular definitive source for all-things-wood terminology? It's a lot of "tribal knowledge" that's passed on colloquially.

Strap in! We're gonna dive into that in this video, and show you a couple of ways to make that figure look absolutely killer in your woodworking projects.
