# Wood Door Veneer Cuts

![Plain Slicing veneer cut diagram](https://gcsupplied.com/_astro/4-c.CFuIFqo2.webp)

## 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.
