Random Matching
Veneer leaves are placed next to each other in a random order
and orientation, producing a “board-by-board” effect in many
species.
Visual Effect - C a s u a l o r r u s t i c a p p e a rance, as though individual
boards from a random pile were applied to the product. Conscious

variation may change from panel to panel. This match is more
difficult to obtain than Book or Slip Match, and must be clearly
specified and detailed.
End Matching
Often used to extend the apparent length of available veneers
for high wall panels and long conference tables. There are two
types of end matching:
A. Architectural End Match. - Leaves are individually book (or
slip) matched, first end-to-end and then side-to-side, alternating
end and side. (Book and butt match illustrated.)

Visual Effect - Yields best continuous grain patterns for length
as well as width.
B. Continuous Sequenced Match
Leaves are individually book (or slip) matched, separate
panels are stacked in sequenced order, either horizontally or
vertically in the elevation (Horizontal sequence illustrated.)1

Visual Effect Yields sequenced grain patterns for elevations,
with pleasing blend of figure horizontally and vertically.
C. Panel End Match Leaves are book (or slip) matched on
panel sub-assemblies, with sequenced sub-assemblies end
matched, resulting in some modest cost savings on projects
where applicable.B
