Is there a way to tell the difference between rift and quartered hard maple? The ray fleck is very small. I am having a difficult time telling the difference between 60 degree and 90 degree on the face. Is it safe to say that the quarter has hart wood on one edge and sap on the other and the rift will be largely sap wood? Right now I am saying my narrow boards are my rift boards. This winter I plan on doing a bunch of maple and want to have a good system in place before the logs are on the ground. How do you label your inventory? Thanks for the help.
