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:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“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)
