What is flitches wood?

Flitches wood, also known as quarter-sawn wood or radially-sawn wood, is a type of lumber that is cut from logs in a specific method. It involves cutting the log into quarters and then slicing along the radius of each quarter, resulting in a high-quality, stable wood with a unique grain pattern. Flitches wood is often used for high-end furniture, cabinetry, and interior decor due to its beautiful appearance and durability. This method of cutting wood has been used for centuries and is still popular today in traditional woodworking techniques. The most common species used for flitches wood include oak, ash, and maple, but other hardwoods can also be used. The wood is ideal for making fine, detailed furniture pieces, and is valued for its uniformity, straight grain, and resistance to warping.
