   It's "rift" sawn and the growth rings run at angle to the wide face of the board at between 30 and 60 degrees while a quartersawn board's growth rings run from 60 to 90 degrees.

   No problem. Rift sawn is less stable across its width than quartered wood, but more stable than a board sawn with rings than run parallel to the face.
