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.
