Achieved when successive veneer leaves in a flitch are turned over like the pages in a book and are glued in this manner. Since the reverse side of one leaf is a mirror image of the succeeding leaf, the result is a series pairs. Individual panels can be matched this way or you can achieve this look over many panels by sequence-matching the panels. Book matching is the most common match. A common problem in book matching is when the "tight" and "loose" sides are matched and reflect light and stains differently. This may yield color variations in some species which may be minimized by proper finishing techniques.
Two adjacent sheets of veneer that are opened like a book and glued side by side to produce a symmetrical pattern.
A way of placing successive sheets of veneer sliced so that when laid, side by each sheet acts as a mirror image of its neighbour.!-- google_ad_client = "pub-8039990704443990"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel ="6807473505"; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "FF3300";
A veneering technique in which every other veneer sheet is turned over and aligned like the open pages of a book. This results in a symmetrical pattern with prominent vertical and horizontal repeating lines.
The process of placing sheets of veneer side-by-side, like the pages of a book, to create a symmetrical pattern or mirror image.
A term used in veneering when adjacent sheets from a flitch are opened like opening a book. The back of one sheet is matched with the face of the next sheet. This gives a light and dark effect due to the light reflecting from the fibers which slant in opposite directions. This may yield color variations in some species which may be minimized by proper finishing techniques.
Sheets of veneer placed side-by-side, like book pages creating symmetrical patterns or mirror images.
