Live sawn

When timber is live sawn each plank is cut straight off the log in a single direction. The orientation remains unchanged throughout the log allowing the floor a full range of the log’s grain. Including the iconic cathedral grain, sap and heartwood, knots and vertical grain. Live-sawn floors include a mix of clear and natural grades and a variety of graining patterns. This milling technique is the most efficient and eco-friendly of the four because the entire log is utilized. Because at least a third of the planks making up live-sawn floors are quarter-sawn, this type of flooring is stable.
