Our ARCHITECTURAL SOLID CORE wood doors are built to the highest quality standards as defined by AWI section #1300. This door can be special ordered in all domestic and exotic species of wood. Birch, Oak, Maple, Mahogany, Walnut and Cherry can be ordered directly at www.absupply.net. This door meets or exceeds all architectural specifications for construction and quality standards. These doors feature a fully bonded core. This means the stiles and rails are securely attached to the core with adhesives and then are abrasively planed before veneering. This step works to ensure minimal telegraphing of core parts through veneers. These doors are used in commercial, institutional and residential applications. Factory prefinishing, fully compliant with AWI standards, is available on special order. If your machining requirements exceed those listed above, please click on our “machining sheet” link to help complete your order and contact us directly to the place your order. 1 3/8″, 2”, 2 1/4 ” and other thicknesses available on special order.

Cutting Graphic
|
Cutting Explained
|
|
|

|
 |
ROTARY CUT
The log is mounted centrally in the lathe and turned against a razor sharp blade, like unwinding a roll of paper. Since this cut follows the log’s annual growth ring, a bold variegated grain marking is produced. Rotary cut veneer is exceptionally wide. To put it simply, this is the way you peel an apple |

|
|

|
 |
PLAIN SLICING
The log, or flitch, is mounted with the heart side flat against the flitch table of the slicer and the slicing is done parallel to a line through the center of the log. This produces a variegated figure. To put it simply this is the way meat is sliced at the deli |
|

|
 |
QUATER SLICING
The quarter log, or flitch, is mounted on the flitch table so that the growth rings of the log strike the knife at approximately right angles, producing a series of stripes, straight in some wood, varied on others |
|

|
 |
RIFT CUT
Cut veneer is produced in the various species of Oak. Oak has medullary ray cells which radiate from the center of the log like curved spokes of a wheel. The rift or comb grain effect is obtained by cutting at an angle of 15 degree of the quarter |
