  4. Explain the following Veneer Terms : • Marquetry: • Balancing Veneer : • Rotary Veneer: • Stripe Veneer : • Inlay : • Grain : • Birdseye : • Flitch : • Cross band : • Blue Stain : • Bleed Through : • Oyster Veneer : • Boulle Work :

  5. Veneer Terms : • Marquetry : Creating patterns or pictures using different veneers. • Balancing Veneer : Back of groundwork is veneered also to prevent warpage. • Rotary Veneer : Veneer peeled from the log in long continuous sheets. Mainly used for backing veneer. ( note : Birds Eye Maple is a choice veneer ) • Stripe Veneer : Also called Ribbon Figure obtained by cutting timber with interlocking Grain. • Inlay : Narrow strips of wood inlaid into the ground work. • Grain : The direction in which the wood fibres are going.

  6. Birdseye : Figure on the surface of the veneer similar to small birds eyes. • Flitch : A section of a Log after initial conversion also refers to a bundle of Veneers cut from a single flitch. • Cross band : When the grain direction runs at right angles to panel edges. • Blue Stain : The reaction that certain timber has with Iron. Eg. the Tannic acid in Oak. • Bleed Through : Glue forced through the grain of the veneer. (Show through) • Oyster Veneer : Veneers cut at 45° across the branch of certain trees, Walnut. • Boulle Work: Charles Andrea Buhl used other materials besides wood veneer to create his Marquetry work.

  7. Burrs / Burls • Burrs are growths on the sides of trees. Veneers are obtained by slicing through them.

  8. Oyster Shell Veneers • Thin Slices of veneer about 1.5mm are cut across the branch of Trees such as Lignum Vitae, Olive, Laburnum, Yew and Walnut. • The result is an Oyster – shell effect. The Oysters are stacked with wooden spacers between and weighted down or the short lengths of branches are buried in dry sand. • The Seasoning must be very gradual to avoid splitting. Oysters can be either trimmed Square and matched or laid at random. • This Table Top has American Burr Walnut inlaid with Sycamore inlay & Yew Oysters
