Explain the meaning of book matched veneers and sketch a method of holding two veneers together prior to gluing.
Book match
Any method of slicing veneers, except perhaps Rotary cut, can be book matched. Take a pair of veneers face to face that are opened like a book and laid onto the substrate
Holding Veneers together while gluing
Lay the veneers face up and match them as required. Use a low tack masking tape over the joints to hold them together before turning over to apply the glue. When the veneers are successfully glued to the substrate remove the masking tape as soon as possible to prevent the masking tape glue from effecting the face of the veneer.
