A type of veneer match in which every other piece of veneer is turned over, or opened like the pages of a book.
Every other leaf is turned over like the pages in a book. This is the most popular matching method and creates a symmetrical pattern and a series of pairs.
The most commonly used match in the industry. Every other piece of veneer is turned over so adjacent pieces are opened like two adjacent pages in a book. The veneer joints match and create a mirrored image pattern at the joint line, yielding a maximum continuity of grain. Book matching is used with flat cut, quarter, rift or rotary cut veneer.
A procedure in the further processing of veneers by which the successive veneer leaves are glued alternately with the front and rear side to retain a mirror-inverted sequence.
Matching between adjacent veneer leaves on one panel face. Ever other piece of veneer is turned over, so that adjacent leaves are “opened” as two pages in a book. The fibers of the wood, slanting in opposite directions in the adjacent leaves create a characteristic light and dark effect when the surface is seen from an angle.
Adjacent pieces of veneer from a flitch or log are opened like a book and spliced to make up the face with matching occurring at the spliced joints. the fibers of the wood, slanting in opposite directions in the adjacent sheets, create a characteristic light and dark effect when the surface is seen from an angle.
