The book match effect is obtained when several adjacent pieces of veneer from the same log are placed alternately, like the pages of a book, then glued together. The inversed cut is therefore a mirror image of the next, producing a series of pairs. The veneer sheets can be matched individually or with several sheets in sequence. There is one potential problem: if the cuts are not facing the same direction, the light and finish may not be reflected in the same way.
Slip matching is obtained when several adjacent pieces of veneer from the same log are slid side by side (always facing the same direction) and then glued together. The result is repetitive wood grain, but without pairing as in book matching. The joints of the cuts are not matched by wood grain.
The veneer sheet is made of cuts from the same species with different grains and colours to simulate a board effect.
Each sheet is assembled from an even or odd number of veneer sheets of different widths. This method is standard for “premium” grades, but must be specified for the other grades.

Each sheet is assembled from an even number of veneer sheets of the same width. There will therefore be a joint in the middle of the sheet that creates horizontal symmetry.
