Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Pssst...It's called crotch.

Crotch (also called crotch veneer or flame veneer) is a flame-shaped pattern of grain with occurs when a trunk or heavy branch with two forking branches is cut through its collective center. It is a highly prized veneer cut from just below the fork. It always produces a highly figured V-grain of an extremely decorative character.
