I have a 100+ year old barn beam that is maple, I have sawn the end off of it, then 1/4 sawn it. 1/4 of it is beautiful curly maple, but the rest appears to be not as, to not at all?? is that normal? I thought that if part of it was, then all of it would be. I have sawn the other pieces the same way on the grain, some of it is the straightest most uniform grain you could ask for.
Thanks, Rich C:
