Plain Sliced or Flat Sliced

Leaf width depends on log size in placement in flitch.

Calf Round. A somewhat similar pattern is achieved by turning a half log flitch on a lathe.

Rift Cut (Lathe)

Angle of cut is 15% to the radial to minimize the ray flake effect in oak.

Comb Grain is the portion which has VERY tight & straight grain.

Quarter Sliced

Flake pattern is produced when slicing through Medullary Rays in some species, principally oak.
