When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.
A circle.
If it cuts the wood along the direction of the grain into two pieces, it could be a slice, or a rip cut. The same separation into two pieces- but across the grain- would be called a crosscut. Of course, if said cut renders a channel, it would either be a dado or a groove, depending entirely upon it's relation to the direction of the grain.
You would cut off a corner.
