Wood face ,back and core Veneer Cutting & Slicing Characteristics

Rotary Cut

Rotary veneer is produced by centering the log in a lathe and turning it against a broad cutting knife which is set into the log at a slight angle. Rotary cut veneer can be sufficiently wide to provide full sheet (one piece) faces. Follows annual growth rings creating a bold variegated grain.

Plain Sliced (Flat Cut)

Plain sliced veneer is veneer sliced parallel to the center of the log to achieve flat-cut veneer. The cathedrals are formed by the inner most annual growth rings as the veneer is cut through the flitch. Creates a prominent variegated grain.

Quarter Sliced

Quarter slicing achieves a straight grain appearance by slicing perpendicular to the annual growth rings. This method creates a โ€œstripedโ€ effect. Depending on the species, grain may be quite straight.

Rift Cut

Rift-cut veneer is produced from the various species of oak. Oak has medullary ray cells which radiate from the center of the log like the curved spokes of a wheel. This straight grain cut is at a slight angle to the medullary rays in oak to minimize ray fleck (flake). Used on oak species, this method avoids the prominent โ€œflake figureโ€ of medullary rays that quarter slicing causes.
