About New Age Veneers
New Age Veneers offers a comprehensive selection of timber veneers, known for their aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Timber veneers are thin slices of wood, usually around 0.6mm thick, bonded to a substrate like Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). These veneers are crafted using various cutting techniques, including rotary, quarter, rift, and crown cuts, each producing distinct grain patterns and visual effects.
### Types of Timber Veneer Cuts
1. **Rotary Cut**: This method involves peeling the veneer from a log in a continuous roll, resulting in a broad, variegated grain pattern. Rotary cuts are often used in plywood manufacturing due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
2. **Quarter Cut**: The log is first quartered before slicing, producing a straight grain pattern with a uniform, linear appearance. This cut is prized for its classic and elegant look, often used in high-end furniture and cabinetry.
3. **Rift Cut**: Similar to quarter cutting, the rift cut slices the wood at a slightly different angle to minimize the flake figure seen in some species like oak. The result is a clean, straight grain that is highly valued in modern and minimalist designs.
4. **Crown Cut**: This cut is made parallel to the wood’s growth rings, resulting in a distinctive, cathedral-like grain pattern. Crown-cut veneers are popular for their dramatic and attractive appearance, making them a favorite for feature panels and prominent surfaces.
