The Designers’

Wood Pictures

Volume 1

This information was put together by Jose Gonzalez for NG Wood Supplies Inc. in an

effort to help the Design Industry with the wood species that are available in today’s

market.

Below you will find the five most common cuts used to slice wood veneer with the most

common type of matching techniques and a list of the wood species available, if there is

one species you can’t find feel free to call us for more information or to give suggestions

for our next volume at 305-824-3222 or e-mail us at joseg7@ngwood.com.

THE 5 MOST COMMONLY USED METHODS OF SLICING

Rotary Cut – veneer produced by placing the log in a lathe and turning into

a cutting knife. Rotary cut veneer is the only veneer which will allow a full

4x8 sheet without seems (WPF)

Plain Slice (Flat Cut) - Veneer which is sliced parallel to the center of the

log to make flat cut veneer. Flat cut produces a cathedral grain pattern.

Quarter Cut – creates a straight grain appearance by slicing perpendicular

to the annual growth rings. Quarter cut produces straight grain veneer

Rift Cut- is used on the oak species. Oak has medullary ray cells which

radiate from the center of the log like the curved spokes of a bicycle’s wheel.

This cut angles the knife at a slight angle to the medullary rays to minimize

ray flakes.

Half Round Slicing- cutting of an arc roughly parallel to the center of the

log to achieve a flat cut veneer. The cathedrals have a more rounded look

since the grain is formed by the inner most growth rings.

THE 4 MOST COMMONLY USED VENEER

MATCHING TECHNIQUES

Book Matching - Pieces of veneer from a flitch are turned over so that

adjacent leaves are put together as two open pages of a book, creating a

symmetrical pattern. Because of the tight side and loose side of the veneer

showing in the pattern a light dark effect (barber pole effect) can occur. This

effect can be minimized through the use of proper finishing techniques.

Slip Matching - Pieces of veneer from a flitch are slipped out in sequence

with all the same face sides being exposed. It produces a uniform color

because all faces have similar light reflection. This reduces the light dark

effect seen on book matched veneer, but changes the grain pattern

dramatically. The figure will repeat but the grain does not match at joints.

Pleasing Match - Veneer flitch is matched by color similarity not

necessarily grain characteristics.

Random (Mismatch) - Veneer flitch is put together randomly, usually used

for lower grade veneers. It is also used to achieve a plank effect.
