Ways of Slicing
The description of the faces of veneered boards e.g. crown or quarter cut refers to the front face only; the reverse on two-sided boards may
be either.
Quarter Cut
Crown Cut
Rotary Cut
Burrs
Produced by cutting at right
angles to the growth rings
producing a straight grained
effect.
Jointing Techniques
Produced by cutting a log in half
and then slicing parallel to its
centre to produce the crown or
heart effect.
The log is rotated around
its axis against a knife as
if unrolling a carpet. This
produces a continuous sheet
with sometimes very wild
characteristics.
A natural defect on the outside
of the tree and/or its root.
Characteristically there are
small knots grouped closely
together giving a highly
decorative appearance. The
veneer is mainly rotary cut.
