Types of Veneer Cuts


Book Matching

The most commonly used match in the industry. Every other piece of veneer is turned over so adjacent pieces (leaves) are “opened” like the pages of a book.

   
Random Matching

Veneer leaves are placed next to each other in a random order and orientation, producing a “board-by-board” effect in many species.
 


Visual Effect:
Veneer joints match, creating a symmetrical pattern. Yields maximum continuity of grain. When sequenced panels are specified, prominent characteristics will ascend or descend accross the match as the leaves progress from panel to panel.

 
Visual Effect:
Casual or rustic appearance, as though individual boards from a random pile were applied to the product. Conscious effort is made to mismatch grain at joints.


   
Slip Matching

Often used with quarter sliced and rift sliced veneers. Adjoining leaves are placed (slipped out) in sequence without turning, resulting in all the same face sides being exposed.

  
Architectual End Matching

Leaves are individually book (or slip) matched, first end-to-end and then side -to-side, alternating end and side.


Visual Effect:
Grain figure repeats but joints do not show grain match.		    
   
Visual Effect:
Yields best continuous grain patterns for length as well as width.
