R/C—ROTARY CUT—The log is centrally mounted on a computerized, hydraulic lathe and turned at a high speed against a special knife, which peels the veneer in a long continuous sheet, similar to unwinding a roll of paper. A wide variegated grain pattern is often the result. Rotary cut veneer is either left as a whole piece veneer, or is cut into narrower widths to be assembled later into a spliced veneer face. |
 |
P/S—PLAIN SLICED—the log is cut into half lengthwise. The half log is then moved back and forth against a stationary knife, producing parallel slices through the center of the log. This produces narrow strips of veneer that closely match that of flat sawn lumber. The narrow strips of veneer are assembled later to form the veneer face. |
 |
RIFT SLICED—Rift sliced veneer is produced in much the same way as plain sliced veneer except that the log is cut into quarters lengthwise. The log is then sliced at a 90 degree angle to the grain. This produces narrow strips of veneer with a straight vertical grain. The narrow strips of veneer are assembled later to form the veneer face. |

QUARTER SLICED—Quarter sliced veneer is produced in the same way as rift sawn veneer |
