Rotary

The log is mounted in a lath and turned against the knife much like unwinding a roll of paper.

Quarter Sliced

The log is mounted so that the knife cuts the growth rings at right angles, producing a straight-grain appearance.

Rift Cut

Rift cut veneer is produced in various species of oak. By cutting at a slight angle off quarter, the flake figure of the medullary rays are avoided.

Plain Sliced (flat cut)

The half log or flitch is mounted so that the cut is parallel to the growth rings. This type of cut produces a cathedral figure.

Half-Round Sliced

This method of cutting is on an arc roughly parallel to the center of the log.

Veneer Matching

Booking Matching

Alternating pieces of veneer from a flitch are turned over so that adjacent leaves are opened as two pages of a book. This creates a symmetrical pattern.

Slip Matching

Veneer sheets are joined side by side with the same face side up to product a repeating flitch figure.

Pleasing Match

Veneers are matched for color and grain with no sharp contrasts at the joints.

Random (Mismatch)

Veneer are joined with the intention of creating an unmatched effect.

OSB

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a material with high mechanical properties that make it particularly suitable for load-bearing applications in construction.
