Half round cutting produces a moderate combination of rotary and flat cut effects. Quartered cutting yields a striped effect- straight in some species and varied in others. Riſt cutting produces a combed grain effect that elimanates flake. Oak is the only species that is riſt cut. Rotary cut veneer is generally wider and produces bold var- iegrated grain patterns. Veneer color tone can vary greatly by species and within the species depending on its cut, preparation and the natural growth process. The spectrum below gives a general visual of this variance and can be used to assist in the veneer search. The way a veneer is cut is an important factor in providing a variety of visual effects. There are several methods of cutting veneer and the most popular are shown below to assist in searching for the right look for your project. Figure is the surface effect of grain and color patterns produced by the nautral patterns of growth or biological “defects” in the tree. Not all species produce figured wood, and the effects are variable from log to log. The most commone figures are shown below.

Figure is the surface eff ect of grain and color patterns produced by the nautral patterns of growth or biological “defects” in the tree. Not all species produce fi gured wood, and the eff ects are variable from log to log. The most commone fi gures are shown below.
