HOW TO GET SUITABLE GRAIN BY VENEER SLICER OR PEELING MACHINE

1 Mountain grain

The half log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer and the slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log. This produces a distinct figure.

2 Skew grain

Quarter Sliced

The quarter log or flitch is mounted on the flitch table so that the growth rings of the log strike the knife at approximately right angles, producing a series of stripes, straight in some woods, varied in others.

3 Straight grain

Rift Cut（OAK）

Rift cut veneer is produced in the various species of Oak. Oak has medullary ray cells which radiate from the center of the log. The rift or comb grain effect is obtained by cutting at an angle of about 15% off of the quartered position to avoid the flake figure of the medullary rays.
