Appearance
There are various cutting methods that result in different appearances
Crown Cut
The log is first cut in half then sliced straight across the growth rings
Characteristic elliptical rings known as cathedrals are present in the centre with straighter grain at each edge
Quarter Cut
The log is first quarter cut then each flitch is straight sliced at right angles to the growth rings.
A straight, uniform and linear grain is produced
Rotary Cut
The log is spun against a stationary blade and is peeled off in large sheets
A broad grain pattern is produced
Plywood is manufactured this way
Rift Cut
The log is quarter cut then lathe mounted. Curved slices are peeled slightly across the rings. This accentuates the vertical grain.
Popular in Oak veneer as this enhances the medullary rays.
Uniformity
Veneer Thickness
Each veneer layon will show variation in grain pattern and colour tone.
Also present will be other natural characteristics inherent in real wood.
To mitigate this natural variation, we can offer
Option 1: Sequential matching - each panel is laid from a single log.
Option 2: Project matching - a labour-intensive service where layons are sorted through to find similar profiles.
Contact us to discuss your requirements
By default, veneers are peeled 0.5mm to 0.6mm thick
Up to 1.5mm thickness is available for some species
Unless otherwise specified...
Crown cut layons will be supplied book matched
Quarter cut layons will be supplied slip matched
Other matching options are available
contact us to discuss your requirements

Veneers are opened like a book and joined
producing a symmetrical mirrored effect
Consecutive veneers are joined
without turning over the leaves
creating a repeating pattern

Mismatching
As book matching, but alternate leaves are turned so the grain is in the opposite direction
As slip matching, but alternate leaves are turned so the grain is in the opposite direction.
Four veneer strips are book matched from side to side and top to bottom. Used for creating larger veneer panels.
Mixes veneers not necessarily from the same log, with some turned to create a random effect on the grain pattern. Expect shades to vary between the strips and grains to flow in different directions.
As random matching, but carefully selected so different shades and grain direction are more harmonised.
A planking effect is deliberately created by using veneers from different logs. More consistent in colour and grain flow than random matching.
