117 VENEERMATCHING OPTIONS The way you match veneer sheets can create visual rhythm and enhance your project. Here are some of the more common veneer matching approaches: Every other leaf of veneer is turned over like the pages of a book. The grain is mirrored in each adjacent leaf. The visual effect created is that veneer joints match, creating a symmetrical pattern. In this process a sequence of matching veneer leaves or consecutive sheets of veneer are slipped out one after the next. The visual effect shows a grain figure repeating. In reverse slip matching, the veneer leaves are slipped out from under each other and every other veneer leaf is flipped end to end. This balances the character of the veneer on the panel face. Typically done only on veneers having multiple characters on one single sheet. Visually it creates beauty in randomness. BOOK MATCH SLIP MATCH REVERSE SLIP MATCH RANDOM MATCH In general, veneer surfaces should not be left wet/damp or with wet staining materials on them, such as dark fruit juice/wine. They should not be cleaned with harsh cleaners or chemicals that affect the surface finish. Sharp edges are potential problem zones for breaks or cracks in the coating.
