Veneer Slicing Methods
Plain-Sliced Veneer is the
most widely used in
architectural doors. It is
manufactured by advancing a
half log against a stationary
knife in an up-and-down
movement. The resulting cut
is characterized by straight
grain intermixed with
cathedrals. This method is
moderately priced and is
available for most wood
species.
Quarter-Sliced Veneer uses the
same cutting method as plainsliced veneer, except the log is
cut into quarters prior to slicing.
This method bisects annual
growth rings and results in a
straight grain or ribbon-striped
(mahogany) appearance. Due to
low yield from the log, this
veneer is usually more costly.
This method with oak produces
“flake” or “tiger” oak.
Rotary-Cut Veneer is
manufactured by
advancing a rotating log
against a stationary knife.
Since this cut follows the
log's annual growth
rings, a wide, bold grain
pattern is produced.
Rotary cut veneer is a
cost effective method to
obtain remarkable effects
from birch, maple and
oak.
Rift-Cut Veneer uses various
species of oak. The rift, or
comb-grain effect, is obtained
by slicing slightly across the
medullary rays. This
accentuates the vertical grain
and minimized the flake. Riftcut veneers are more
expensive due to lower yield
from the log.
Veneer Slicing Methods
Half-Round Slicing is achieved
by cutting on an arc roughly
parallel to the centre of the log
this creates a wider more open
grain pattern and greater leaf
width. This method is typically
used for exotic highly figured
woods
The Exotics
How Special Figure is Produced
A.
Crotch Sliced/Curl formed at the
juncture between main trunk and
branch
B.
Burl which is cut through a wart-like
protuberance
C.
Fiddleback figure, the result of
cutting through wavy grain
