What is the difference between rotary sliced and plain sliced veneer? What is quarter cut?

Rotary sliced or rotary cut follows a log’s annual growth rings, providing a bold, random appearance.

Plain sliced or flat cut is sliced parallel to the center of a log, creating a cathedral
or straight grain pattern, which is ideally suited for matching doors and wall patterns.

Quarter cutting produces a series of straight grained stripes that vary in width from species to species, and can also produce flake patterns, especially in oak woods.
