Matching of Panels Within an Area

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. The four common methods are:

These are one step above stock plywood panels, usually made and warehoused in 4’ x 8’ (1219 mm x 2032 mm), or 4’ x 10’ (1219
mm x (2540 mm) 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 bet ween 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.
