METHODS OF MATCHING PANELS


Veneered panels used in casework or paneling in the same area may be matched to each other. This important component of the
project must be carefully detailed and specified. The natural growth patterns of the tree will cause the figure on the sequential panels
to ascend, descend, or show a “grain progression” as the eye moves from panel to panel. These illustrations were developed in
Imperial measure and have not been converted for this edition. The four common methods are:

Panel Widths


These are one step above stock plywood panels, usually made and warehoused in 4’ x 8’ or 4’ x 10’ sheets in sequenced sets.
They may be produced from a single flitch or a part of a flitch, usually varying in number from 6 to 12 panels. If more than one set is
required, matching between the sets cannot be expected. Similarly, doors or components often cannot be fabricated from the same
flitch materials, resulting in noticeable mismatch. This is often the most economical type of special panel products.
