What does analyze mean in woodworking?

It could mean several things for various aspects in woodworking, in cabinet making you have to analyze how to layout the many panels on your substrate so you leave the least amount of scrap-wood, (the leftover, unusable wood from the sheet of substrate). In wood turning, you have to analyze how you want the grain, knots, crotches, the includsions of faults, etc., in essence, choose how you want to your end piece to look. In the milling of lumber, you have to analyze (deside) how you want the lumber to look once its cut, (desiding how to cut gives you different grain patterns you seek) typical cuts in the milling of lumber are: Flitch Cut, Quarter- and Rift- Sawn, Plain-Sawn. Explanation on typical cuts: Plain or Flat sawn gives you a swirled grain affect, more prone to movement with changes in humidity, accepts stains well. Rift sawn has a strighter grain and much more stable than Plain sawn, Quarter sawn is the most stable of all cuts, the strightest grain, and in some species will show ray flect, (the exhibition of the Medullary cell) Quartersawing is the most wasteful way to cut a log, but the beauty and stability of this cut always offsets the waste. Analyzing is determining the nature of the whole, or deciding what the end result will be.
