Often, these products have a natural wooden veneer that covers a structure that is made of a cheaper material or a more stable material. , stability, or weight. Most modern timber doors consist of a face veneer that is fixed to a core material is more than durable and stable, or lighter and cheaper than solid timber. Core As the veneers are the parts visible, doors and other furniture pieces can still have a traditional and products can be manufactured wood, that can be manufactured to perform better than natural wood and is a manufactured sustainable product, and polystyrene attractive appearance while making use of modern production techniques techniques for the main structure of the product.
It should produce a productive has, it must produce a product, has been an ancient technique, first seen in using an ancient times. It usually involves a very thin layer of natural wood, often thinner than 3 mm, being fitted onto a core structure. The appearance of being solid natural wood. Veneers can then be lacquered, varnished or stained, in the same way as solid timber.

Some cutting methods more economic than others, and this will of the veneer produced. Differs, depending on the way it & # 39; s being cut.
Cutting Method Names
Flat cut
This cut is also sometimes known as a crown or plain cut. Probably the most common cut use in woodworking in general. A log is cut in half and the veneer cuts are made by parallel to a line through the center of the The pattern of grains form on these sheets are they are easily kept in sequence dome shaped cathedrals or heart figures. This method of cut will often produce moderately priced veneers.
Quarter cut
This method wastes more wood and produces narrows sheets than other cutting methods, which Woods that are commonly cut using this method are mahogany, teak, and oak.
Rotary cut
The rotary cut involves a loghe, rotated as a thin slice of veneer is sliced from it. This method can produce very large single sheet which usually have a broad grain pattern. Veneer produced This method allows most of a log to be used, with minimum wastage, making it is pattern can appear quite randomly. it a cost-effective cutting method.
Half-round cut
This half-round cut is a cross, this is the arc, parallel to its center. This produces wider sheets than you will get from flat cuts, which means smaller smaller logs can be used. pattern produced is similar to flat cuts, but the cathedrals usually have rounder tops.
Rift-cut
The finished grain pattern is usually straight and will be similar to this what is what is wonderful. Cutting at an angle like this produces a comb effect grain pattern in oak without any flakes is produced from a quarter cut. .
Lengthwise cut
The lengthwise cut is where the flat sheet of sawn wood is cut into thin sheet. The width of the sheet will be dependent on the board that is used to make them.
