"In Mahogany quarter sawn lumber is termed "ribbon stripe". This method of sawing produces relatively narrow boards and creates more waste. For these reasons (and the additional handling involved) quarter sawn lumber is much more expensive than plain sawn."

so, you're officially admitting you are wrong then ??
