Anyone doing quarter sawn timber on their bandsaws? I presume it would be a much better cut for structural timber?
Quarter sawn timber is generally used for stability in things like wide boards for joining etc. Usually where one dimension is much bigger than the other dimension. Structural timber is generally squarer (a square beam cab never be quarter sawn) and the focus would be on grading through grain line, knots size, dead knots, boxed heart etc.
Quarter sawn can be more stable but not necessarily stronger so no it isn't really a focus when cutting structural timber.

Every cut above, below and including the center cut of a log thats cut through and through is quarter sawn anyway, just keep these back if thats what you are after

Cheers Andy, I see what you’re saying. [emoji106]

I wonder if there’s a reason people don’t use such highly figured wood in floors? Maybe I’ll have to issue a warning to epileptics. Still - I’m pleased to have achieved this little landmark.

Contract cutting oak today, the guy is semi retired but has probably cut more hardwood in his working life than I’ll ever see. Doesn’t matter how old or experienced you are it’s good to spend time around old boys whom have been there and done it.
