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

Book Matched Veneer

Slip Matched Veneer

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

Book & Turn Matching

Slip & Turn Matching

Quarter Matching

Random Matching

Controlled Random Matching

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.
