Quarter > Cut
Similar to the Plain Slice, this cut requires the largest diameter logs and produces straight grained veneers, often resulting in the appearance of flake.

Quilt > Figure
Quilted figure is the same as pomele in that it has a rounded, rolling figure.
The pattern is somewhat less pronounced and much larger.

Rift > Cut
Veneer is cut a angle to the radial to arrive at a quartered appearance without excessive flake.
Commonly used for Red and White Oak.

Rotary > Cut
Similar to unrolling wrapping paper the veneer is peeled from a lathe.
This type of veneer is typically not used for face grade. It is best suited for paint grade or utility surfaces.
