What are the common uses of timber that has been milled using the "live saw" and "sawing around" methods

Back sawing aims to produce boards with the face tangential to the growth rings and quarter sawn products are cut with the face parallel to the rays and at 90 degrees to the growth rings. Live sawing another technique involves using parallel saws to cut the log. the Log is ripped into boards by means of a parallel series of saw cuts without any turning of the log. I am not sure of the uses, but maybe for higher grade furniture.
