Types of Veneer Cuts Depending on the manner in which a log is cut, strikingly different visual effects can be achieved with the wood’s grain and characteristics. Two logs of the same species, cut in different ways, produce distinctive, individual veneers. ROTARY CUT The entire log is cut or “peeled.” Can yield full sheets of veneer. Grain pattern is broad …

Veneer Core Veneer Core is produced by placing the “lines” of core veneers into the panel “sandwich” so that adjacent plies having a grain direction oriented at approximate right angles to each other. Veneer core panels are relatively light in comparison with composite core panels, typically weighing about 70 pounds per 3/4″ panel. Veneer core offers superior physical properties than either …

Plain Sliced Veneer (PS) The half log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer. The slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log to produce a distinct figure. Rotary Whole Piece Face Veneer (R) The entire log is cut or “peeled.” It can yield full sheets …
