cutting methods
FLAT/CROWN CUT
Often referred to colloquially as a ‘flowery
pattern’, this design is obtained by slicing the
block parallel to the centre of the log. This
results in a raised cathedral or flower effect by
the innermost growth rings.
The types of cut determine the design pattern on
the veneer. The size of the log, the wood species, Flat Cut Red Oak
the grain pattern desired, and other factors
determine which type of cut will be made to
QUARTER CUT
create the veneer. Here are some of the more To obtain this design, a log is first cut into four
common methods of cutting logs: quarter blocks. Then each block is sliced
perpendicular to the annual growth rings of the
tree. This results in a straight grain appearance
on the veneer.
RIFT CUT
This method is generally used with Red Oak
and White Oak to minimize the appearance of
flakes in the final design. This is derived by
slicing the block at a slight angle by cutting
slightly against the modular rays. This also
results in a straight line design.
Rift Cut Red Oak
ROTARY CUT
For this method of cutting, the log is centered
on a lathe and turned against a broad cutting
knife set into the log at a slight angle so that a
continuous cut is made around the log. This
results in a wild, varied design.
93
veneer matching options
approaches:
PLEASING MATCH
Care is taken to match up the colour of each
of the veneer pieces, but not necessarily the
grain. Patterns result in no colour contrast at
the joints.
SLIP MATCH
Often used with quarter sliced and rift sliced
veneers, this is the process in which a
sequence of matching veneer leaves or
consecutive sheets of veneer are slipped out
one after the next. This results in all the same
face sides being exposed. The visual effect
shows a grain figure repeating, but joints do
not show grain match. Minimizes potential RANDOM MATCH
barber pole effect.
Typically done only on lower grades of veneers,
where knots, stains and other natural markings
are allowed. Colours and grains vary, and
pieces are often of different widths.
