Premium Rift Cut Walnut Wood Veneer Sheets
Rift Cut Walnut—also known as Rift Sawn American Black Walnut—is the definitive choice for modern architects and designers seeking a minimalist, linear aesthetic. This specialized cut features a very straight grain that makes for a beautiful addition to any furniture or architectural project.
Produced by cutting the log at a specific 15-to-45-degree angle to the growth rings, the rift-sawing process eliminates the "cathedral" arches found in flat-cut wood. The result is a consistent, "combed" vertical grain that provides a sophisticated and visually stable surface for high-end interiors and professional-grade wood veneer sheets.
A Legacy of Quality and Versatility
American Black Walnut Veneer has been a standard in furniture and panel manufacturing for decades. Its reputation for durability and luxury has made it the historical standard for high-performance applications, including:
-
Traditional Craftsmanship: A primary choice for gun stocks, where both strength and aesthetic beauty are required.
-
Specialized Marine & Music: Its uses cover everything from luxury boat building and yacht interiors to the construction of fine musical instruments.
-
Minimalist Kitchen Cabinetry: Perfect for slab-style cabinet doors where a uniform, vertical grain is required across the entire run of a modern kitchen.
-
Architectural Wall Paneling: The linear grain allows for seamless "end-matching" and "sequence-matching," creating expansive wooden walls with predictable, elegant transitions.
The Oakwood Professional Standard
We specialize in sourcing and grading Rift Walnut for complex, large-scale millwork:
-
Maximum Grain Straightness: Our rift logs are hand-selected to ensure the straightest possible grain, minimizing any "wander" or curvature in the fibers.
-
Elimination of "Fleck": While quarter-sawn wood can show heavy medullary ray fleck, our Rift Cut Walnut wood veneer sheets are culled to prioritize a clean, combed appearance with minimal character interference.
-
Oversized Sheet Availability: Beyond standard 4'x8' sheets, we offer architectural lengths up to 12' and widths up to 5' to ensure vertical continuity on tall panels.
-
Advanced Backing Systems: Available with 10-mil paper, 22.2-mil Bubble-Free (BFV) for heavy-duty pressing, or 3M™ PSA (Peel-and-Stick) for high-efficiency installation.
