Patterns
There are a number of "patterns" common to veneered work. This refers to the way the veneers are laid up.
- A: Book matched: where the veneers are opened from the flitch much like the pages of a book.
- B: Slip matched: where the pieces are joined together in the order they come from the flitch, and have the same face kept up.
- C: Radial matched: where the veneer is cut into wedge shaped pieces and joined together.
- D: Diamond matched: where the pattern formed is diamond shaped.

Famous quotes containing the word patterns:
“I’ve begun to appreciate the generational patterns that ripple out from our lives like stones dropped in water, pulsing outward even after we are gone. Although we have but one childhood, we relive it first through our children’s and then our grandchildren’s eyes.”
—Anne Cassidy (20th century)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
