VENEERS

Veneer Selection TruStile’s Flush Doors are hand crafted to accentuate the beauty found in nature. We apply strict standards based on species to achieve a look that focuses on beauty vs. yield.

• 100% 1/16" flitch veneers • Sequenced bundles for each face • Focused on beauty

The best trees are sold as ½ logs, called flitches, to veneer houses that slice them into veneer sheets.

The sheets are then bundled in sequence for sale. TruStile purchases as many sequenced bundles as possible within our grading requirements.

Veneer Widths TruStile will guarantee 5" or 6" minimum veneer width and all equal veneers across the face of our doors.

On single doors with equal number of sheets, the center seam will fall in the center of the slab.

On single doors with unequal number of staves, the middle sheet will fall in the center of the slab.

Pairs of doors are treated like a single wide door.

The position of the veneers is then transfered to the individual slabs to ensure the veneer pattern aligns across both faces.

Horizontal Veneer Matching The starting point in creating a TruStile Wood Door is our veneer application standards. We handcraft each face to optimize the beauty found in natural wood. NOTE: PAIRS ARE MATCHED STANDARD. IF USING IN A PAIR APPLICATION, PLEASE ORDER AS A PAIR. We have 3 standard face composition methods for horizontal grain wood flush doors:
