Images of Q/C Tiger Oak Veneer Showing Various Flake Patterns

Tiger Oak veneer, also known as Quarter Cut Oak veneer, Q/C Oak veneer, Q/C Tiger Oak veneer,  Flakey Oak veneer, Golden Flake Oak veneer and various other names, exhibits various "flake" or "Tiger Stripe" patterns, depending on various factors.

Tiger Oak veneer is White Oak veneer (sometimes red oak veneer) and the flake patterns are exhibited when the White Oak log is sliced or cut using the Q/C (quarter cut) method.  The Q/C method uncovers the tiger oak or "flake" patterns that come from the medullary rays of the oak log.  Some logs exhibit lots of tiger oak, and some show lesser amounts of the tiger oak flake patterns.   

The best, heaviest, widest most prominent tiger oak veneer flake patterns come from old growth, large diameter Oak logs.  Logs like this were available at the turn of the century.  That's why the tiger oak veneer used on furniture from the early 20th century shows the heavy flake patterns.  Here are several examples of Q/C tiger oak veneer with varying amounts of flake:
