Plain slicing occurs when a log is only turned a few inches at a time when slicing it, versus a constant turn and peeling method used for Rotary Cut veneer. Plain Sliced veneer produces a cathedral grain pattern, similar to the pattern produced when plain sawn lumber is produced
Rotary Cut veneer is produced by rotating a log while shaving a full-length continuous sheet. This process is the only cutting method that produces whole-piece face veneers. A Rotary Cut will yield veneer with a broad grain pattern with no plain sliced or quartered appearance
