I'd like to learn to make furniture someday and have started cutting some of my logs. I've just started with my small ones and most of them are plain sawn after making a cant. However I've got some good sized oak 28" to 37" (white and red) and a bunch of 24" to 36" walnut logs to slice up. I don't know if I should cut them plain sawn as well or cut them quarter sawn. I've been cutting them mostly 5/4 but a few 6/4 and some 8/4. Any suggestions on what looks better in a dresser or desk or what is prefered.
Here's a picture of a small log being put on the carriage with the help of my daughter with an arch I finally finished.
