WHOLE-PIECE FLAT
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. |
|

| |
 |
SLIP MATCHING
Adjoining flitches from the same log are laid out in the same direction and in sequence in order to produce a repetitive grain with a uniform colour. This technique enhances the rectilinear effect of straight-cut grain veneers. |

 |
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 contrasting finish of wooden planks. |

SPECIAL MATCHING
Craftsmen use various matching techniques to highlight interesting grain patterns in rare logs and to create genuine collector's items. Matching techniques, such as diamond (inverted or not), butterfly, oblique, narrow-heart, checkerboard and sunbeam, can create rare mosaic effects. |
