Hi all, I am looking into a desinging and building a built in - exposed shelves and lower shelves with doors - off our family room. I have used WO in the past and enjoyed working with it. My wife likes the cleaner modern lines in furniture like you see at www.Henrybuilt.com or like some of the pieces that Mark Singer has made or has in some of the exotic homes.
So I found that Rift cut offers the more straight uniform grain lines with less fleck as seen with qtr sawn lumber which looks more busy/unique but comes off looking more Mission style? I have also read rift and qtr sawn is the same and have seen rift sawn veneer that looks like qtr dawn cut. I was also thinking of using ash which hasa similar color and straight lined grain. Which in this project would be vertical.
I am to rift veneer covered doors with qtr lumber frame. I cant find rfot lumber or ply here in Phoenix? Only rift veneer. Ideas? any pics of qtr sawn lumber with the straight lines I am looking for with out the noticeable flecking?
As always thanks in advance...
