The veneer’s appearance can vary greatly depending on how it was cut from the log. The most common cuts are rotary-cut, plain-sliced, and quarter-sliced, and each one will produce distinct appearances – From a uniform, smooth surface to a distinct, varied pattern with a unique grain pattern and figure. The choice of which type of cut to use for a project is contingent on the desired aesthetic and the project’s specific requirements. | GL Veneer, Inc.
