Cross-Banding
Cross-banding is the process of creating a border of veneer with its grain running at right angles to the grain of the adjoining veneer.
Used purely as a form of decoration, the effect was especially enhanced when the veneer grain of the border had a defined direction. For this reason, Kingwood, Rosewood and Calamander were always considered as great choices for cross-banding.
