3. VENEER PANEL FACE MATCHING
Slip Matching: Adjacent veneer sheets are joined side-by-side, same sides up, for a uniform grain pattern.
Alder Plywood
Whole Piece: A single piece of veneer is used with continuous grain characteristics running across the sheet.
Alder Plywood
Pleasing Match: Veneers are matched by color similarity. Not necessarily grain characteristics.

Alder Plywood
Random or Mismatch: Veneers intentionally do not match at the joints for a casual effect.
Alder Plywood
Book Matching: Turns every other piece of adjacent veneer over, resulting in identical but opposite patterns.
Alder Plywood
Special matching Effects:
Other arrangements of veneers, such as this checkerboard pattern, can be used to produce striking visual impact.
