At Morse we mill our wide selection of domestic and tropical wood with a variety of sawing methods and in specific grades. Our figured and quartered New England hardwoods have distinctive characteristics that make them a top choice for furniture making and other fine woodworking. Smooth to the touch, they have a shiny, textured appearance that attracts attention. In addition, we carry top-quality hardwood plywood, sought after for cabinets, furniture and a host of other projects.

Choose from a variety of sawing methods for a number of great looks.

Different sawing methods give boards a distinct grain pattern and performance level. The chosen cutting method can also be specific to particular species. Plain or flat sawing, a time honored and common method, produces the most lumber per log, making it a cost-effective choice. Boards are produced tangentially to a tree's growth rings, creating a flame-shaped grain pattern. In the Quarter-sawn method, we cut a log at a 90-degree angle to the growth rings, achieving a distinctive vertical graining. This method yields fewer and narrower boards, making them more costly. Rift-sawn boards are sawn at a 30-degree or greater angle to the rings, producing narrower boards with accentuated vertical grain patterns. These boards are well suited for fine furniture and applications where grain matching is important.
