I know we have tags for rift-sawn and quarter-sawn. After much research and asking/answering question here it seems easy to conclude that rift sawn milling and rift sawn wood represent two different things these days. Same goes for quarter sawn.
Recently I rejected a tag edit for rift-sawn. The basis for it was the tag does not distinguish between the milling process and the resulting lumber.
I think we need to do something to remove the ambiguity of the sawn tags listed above by making milling and wood tags for each. For example:
quarter-sawn-milling and rift-sawn-milling for the process to create them.
quarter-sawn-wood and rift-sawn-wood for the wood created by the above processes.
If we were to follow such tags then the plain ones would be removed.
The above tags are mostly suggestion to spark debate. I think something should done so as we don't create problems later.
