PLAIN SLICING
By slicing parallel to the center of the log, a raised “cathedral effect” is formed by the innermost growth rings

QUARTER SLICING
The slicing is made perpendicular to the annual growth rings of the tree. This creates a straight grain appearance

RIFT CUT
The log is centered on a lathe and turned against a broad cutting knife set into the log at a slight angle.

ROTARY CUT
The log is centered on a lathe and turned against a broad cutting knife set into the log at a slight angle.
