Plain Sliced (flat cut)

The half log or flitch is mounted so that the cut is parallel to the growth rings.  This type of cut produces a cathedral figure.

Half-Round Sliced.

This method of cutting is on an arc roughly parallel to the center of the log.

Rotary

The log is mounted in a lath and turned against the knife much like unwinding a roll of paper

Rift Cut

Rift cut veneer is produced in various species of Oak.  By cutting at a slight angle off quarter, the flake figure of the medullary rays are avoided.

Quarter Sliced

The log is mounted so that the knife cuts the growth rings a right angles producing a straight grain appearance.
