Veneer Lamination Patterns
Mismatched or Random Matching
Random matching is just what it sounds like.
Typically completed with lower grades of
veneer, the leaves may be of varying width,
colors and graining. Knotty veneers are
often laid this way. This is done to disperse
characteristics such as clusters of knots more
evenly across the sheet.
Book Matching
Alternate pieces of veneer are flipped over so
they face each other as do the pages within
a book. Thus, the back of one veneer meets
the front of the adjacent veneer producing a
matched joint design.
