Common Veneer Cuts
Wood veneer door manufacturers use various veneer cuts for their products to give each door a unique finish. Types of wood veneer cuts for doors include:

Plain Sliced
Plain slicing involves moving a log up and down against the knife through the center for a straight grain and cathedrals. You can use this cut on several different wood species.

• Rift Cut - Rift cutting produces thin, vertical grains by slicing across an oak log's medullary rays.
• Rotary - During the rotary cutting process, the log rotates against a stationary knife to create a broad grain pattern.
• Quarter - The quarter slicing method uses logs pre-cut into quarters to create straight grains and ribbon stripes. The exact design depends on the wood species.

Common Veneer Matches
Wood veneer door manufacturers use various veneer cuts for their products to give each door a unique finish. Types of wood veneer cuts for doors include:

• Book Match - Book-matched veneer pieces come in alternating panels that face each other like a book, creating a symmetrical pattern. The even design highlights the log's figure and grain and creates color variation on the door.
• Slip Match - Slip matching involves joining pieces without switching the pattern, keeping the joints hidden for a straight-grain appearance. This design usually keeps the color consistent throughout the wood veneer surface.
• Balance Match - In balance matching, the manufacturer keeps the width of each panel's leaves consistent, creating a symmetrical appearance.
