Quarter sawn means the grain is perpendicular to the face. There’s plenty of quarter sawn boards in the other methods. Rift sawn means the grain is at 45° to the face. I’ve heard “live sawn” called “slab sawn” that includes the heart and it cups like a bastard.

I think it’s highlighting the inner and outer layers.

That’s still not the difference though. Rift sawn is cut radially.
