Walnut is one of the most coveted hardwoods in woodworking and design. Known for its rich brown tones and elegant grain, walnut veneer sheets bring warmth and sophistication to cabinetry, furniture, and architectural interiors. At Oakwood Veneer, we offer walnut in several options—rift, flat cut, and quartered—so you can choose the style that best fits your project.
Flat Cut Walnut Veneer
Flat cut walnut veneer, also called plain-sliced or crown cut, highlights the natural cathedral grain patterns that walnut is famous for. This option is often used in traditional cabinetry, fine furniture, and wall panels. Its warm color and distinctive figure create a classic, inviting look.
Rift Walnut Veneer
Rift walnut veneer offers a straighter, more uniform grain pattern. Designers often choose rift cuts for modern and contemporary interiors where clean lines and subtle texture are desired. Rift walnut balances natural beauty with refined simplicity, making it a popular choice for upscale cabinetry and custom furniture.
Quartered Walnut Veneer
Quartered walnut veneer is produced by cutting the log perpendicular to its growth rings, creating a vertical grain appearance with more variation than rift. Quartered walnut may feature knots or natural markings, giving it a rustic, organic feel. It’s often selected for architectural woodwork and projects where a more natural aesthetic is preferred.

- Cabinetry: Kitchen and bathroom cabinets gain richness and depth with walnut veneer.
- Furniture: From dining tables to desks, walnut veneer provides a timeless, high-end finish.
