Quartersawn lumber and
I am looking for the term for how much lumber is "lost" in the cut -
but in the meantime, I saw the pictures for how quartersawn lumber is cut and how similar it looks to the log cabin block pattern.
This is just one explanation/example of wood cutting patterns:

In my mind, when rotary cutting, there is some fabric "loss" at each cut, just as there is "loss" at each cut when lumber is sawed.

Yes, you lose little bit each time. There is also a video about always starting with a clean edge. It does make sense but I don't stress over it either.
