Ignore this entire video. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Those boards are rift sawn. True quartersawn lumber has growth rings no more than 20 degrees from perpendicular to the sawn face.
yes that is not a good way to quartersaw.... on a bandsaw mill a good way to do it is to cut the log into thirds, not pie shaped, simply into thirds across the face and then each third is sawn straight across into boards. This is the fastest way to do it would take forever to saw it into quarters and rotate each to another face or each cut, and the results of that would not yield much more quartersawn. Quartersawn does not mean perfectly on the quarter either..
Pretty video but this is NOT quartersawn.. you can see that if you had two mirror image quarters and sawed them at the same time the first cut is exactly the same as board sawing across the center of the log.. true quarter sawing resembles radial sawing but is almost impossible on consumer grade sawmills.
