      • 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

      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

      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.
