Flat sawn white oak8/23/2023 ![]() ![]() This process is called rip-sawing, and is used to create most types of lumber. Plain sawn (or flat sawn) means that the oak has been cut parallel to the log, creating a noticeable flame or cathedral grain pattern. However, this has a great impact on the look, feel and stability of the wood. (2018).Quarter-sawn white oak and white oak are the exact same species of wood, and the difference simply lies in the method of cutting. If you are looking for a species not listed here, please reach out to our wood flooring experts at (210) 298-9663 to discuss your wood flooring project. This wood is less dense than other woods commonly used for flooring and is not always recommended for high traffic areas. Walnut does contain some sapwood, so the boards will have some lighter streaks in the grain. Walnut has a rich brown coloring to the wood along with a beautiful grain pattern. Due to the fact it is reclaimed you can expect to see original weathering, checking, cracks, bug holes, nail holes and bolts holes.ġ00% reclaimed white oak, due to the fact it is reclaimed you can expect to see original weathering, checking, splits, bug holes, nail holes and bolts holes. Due to the fact it is reclaimed you can expect to see original weathering, nail holes and bolts depending on what grade you choose.Ī mix of both reclaimed red and white oak. Reclaimed long leaf pine is available cut as vertical grain or plain sawn in the center with straight grain toward the edges. America was built on long leaf pine this species is now extinct making it only available as reclaimed wood. Long Leaf Pine is also known as antique heart pine. Mesquite trees grow irregularly and stay small which means that floors made from mesquite tend to be narrow planks or are cut into end grain blocks. Hickory has a lot of sapwood which gives each board a lot of contrast between the darker heartwood and the light sapwood.Ī very dense wood that is known for its hardness and deep reddish-brown coloring. (Hickory, 2018) Hickory is a very dense wood, making it resistant to denting which is ideal for high traffic areas. Various species of Hickory and Pecan (Carya genus) are typically mixed together and simply sold as Hickory. The same as European White oak, except these logs are from forests in France only. These logs are cut using the live sawn technique, which give you plain sawn, quarter sawn and rift sawn grain all in the same board. European oak has a high tannin content in the wood which means it takes stain very evenly and allows you to achieve more colors than on an American white oak. Our European White Oak comes from western Europe, meaning it comes from some of the same forests that French white oak grows. You can learn more about what it takes to be one of the biggest trees here. Oak trees can grow to be some of the biggest trees in America. You will get the plain sawn in the center of the board and out towards the edges you will get some rift and quartered grain patterns. Live Sawn, also known as Euro cut, is cut the same way that oak logs are cut in Europe, this gives the boards a mix of the three previous cuts. ![]() Quarter sawn and rift sawn are commonly sold together as a rift and quartered white oak floor. These boards can be identified by the very straight and tight grain. Rift Sawn is the most expensive but also the most stable cut of white oak. Quarter Sawn white oak boards will contain 'flake' marks in the grain. This plank will have the commonly seen flame or cathedral pattern on the face.Ĭathedral Grain means that each board will have distinct cathedral grain running down the center of every board. Plain Sawn, also known as flat sawn, is the least expensive cut of white oak as it creates the least waste. These cuts each refer to the way the boards were cut from the log, which gives the board each a unique appearance. Due to its hardness, it is a popular choice for high traffic flooring areas. Available in different cuts, Plain Sawn, Quarter Sawn, Rift Sawn and Live Sawn.

Yet every "reviewer" under the sun saw "hex" grids and the turn-based gameplay, and immediately they thought "Civ". when, in fact, AoW games have a lot more in common with Total War games. ![]() ![]() It's just that comparing it to XCom2 is about as dumb as it was when reviewers compared AoW3 to Civ V. Is the combat system in AoW:PF bad? Not at all. Add to that, XCom's system of management and strategic layers that weave together, and influence, the turn-based battles, and you can see, very clearly, how the experiences are "night and day". Not to mention the very real loss of progress if/when a unit is killed, etc. In addition, the maps are small, the cover/LOS system is bare bones (no real elevation or interiors), and the AI is nowhere near as ruthless as that in XCom2. ![]() Sure, this game has some nods to XCom2, and a solid roster of units, abilities, decent overall gameplay etc.-but the number of strategic options you have in any given battle in AoW:PF is severely limited. Let Civ be Civ, and compare it to Humankind perhaps.Ĭompare Xcom to Phoenix Point and compare Planetfall to Aow3.Ĭomparing the combat in this game to XCom2 is just laughable, at best. That comparison is unfair to both brands, and so it is with comparing PF to Xcom or Civ. To the extent that one of the early reviews took a heavy ♥♥♥♥ on PF because the combat wasn't an exact clone of XCom (I had a thorough chat with that writer, but he dug his heels in despite loads of evidence.)Īnd so it continues, with people like docking points of the combat because it isn't "as good as" X-com, which is a bit like saying my BMW X3 isn't as good at transporting stuff as a Mercedes Benz Actros (google it) Planetfall, was never meant to be Civ meets X-Com, just that the media went wild with that. "Civ meets X-com" could be an incredible game, perhaps, or a turgid ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game with overfilled turns that just drags on forever.īut the point is this game, i.e. Paradox never bothered correcting them because that is an awesome marketing tagline. The media then ran away with that and decided this game was Civ meets X-Com. This whole X-come comparison started at Pdx con, when Lennart sas was talking about overwatch in Planetfall, where he said "overwatch here is similar to Overwatch in X-Com, so you watch over an area and shoot at enemies that come into that area"
