Oak Veneer - Red Flat Cut

Premium Flat Cut Red Oak Wood Veneer Sheets

Flat Cut Red Oak—also known as Plain Sliced or Crown Cut Oak—is the industry standard for traditional American cabinetry and high-end architectural millwork. It is defined by its iconic "cathedral" grain pattern, a series of bold arches and loops created by slicing the log parallel to the center. This rhythmic aesthetic brings a sense of warmth and natural heritage to nearly any woodworking project.

Architectural Specification: For architects and designers specifying Flat Cut Red Oak Veneer for commercial or residential projects, please select the Premium option (Product Number: DSV-8230) to ensure the highest grade of sequence-matched material.

Why Choose Flat Cut (Plain Sliced) Red Oak?

Unlike the linear, combed look of Rift or Quarter Sawn varieties, Flat Cut Red Oak showcases the full organic character of the tree. Its density and natural hues are versatile, ranging from bright, salmon pinks to warm wheat tones. This variety is highly recommended for:

• Custom Kitchen Cabinetry: The cathedral grain offers the classic, upscale look that homeowners recognize and value.

• Furniture Restoration: An ideal match for vintage American furniture pieces that utilize traditional crown cutting.

• Ease of Finishing: Because Red Oak is an open-grain species, our flat cut sheets are exceptionally receptive to stains, allowing you to achieve deep, rich colors without losing the wood’s natural texture.

• DIY & Refacing: For refacing cabinets or DIY veneer jobs, we strongly recommend our 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick) backing option for a fast, professional bond without specialized equipment.
