Types of veneer matching methods
available
Whole-piece face
- Jointing is not necessary
for this type of cut, because the veneer is obtained
from single full-size flitches.
Book
matching
- Adjoining flitches from the
same log are placed side-by-side, alternating open
and tight sides, in order to produce a mirror effect (like an open book). This
technique produces rounded, highly stylized symmetrical patterns.
Pleasant
matching
-
Flitches from various logs selected for colour similarity are used to produce
a variety of grains and patterns in the same uniform shade.
Plank effect matching
- Various colours and qualities
of veneers are assembled randomly in order to imitate
the finish of wooden planks.
