Araucaria Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Does anyone know what the French words for quarter-sawn boards might be? My builders dictionary (the pretty useless Hadley Pager one) offers sciage trait bas and sciage trait haut, for sawing "flatways" and "edgeways", but I don't think this is the same and I wouldn't know which was which either.Or will I just have to draw a picture for the chap at the sawmill?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I believe it's débitage sur quartier, see here http://www.larousse.fr/encyclopedie/divers/sciage/90580 (click on the diagram to enlarge it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araucaria Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks very much NoMoss. That link was just what I needed (and I've now bookmarked the on-line dictionary, too). It might also be débit Moreau, according to the Wiki France page on sawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi AraucariaI can't get your link to work, it seems like an empty http:// statementAnyway, I was going to say that I have never heard of quater sawn boards. Is there a specific use for boards like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
