Matching Within Panel Face

 

Matching Within Panel Face Bookmatched

The individual leaves of veneer in a sliced Glitch increases or decreases in width as the, slicing progresses. When a number of panels are

manufactured from a particular Glitch, the number of veneer leaves per
panel face will change as the Glitch is utilized. The manner in which these leaves are "laid up" within the panel requires specification, and is classified as follows:

Running Matched (Non-Architectural Grade)

Each panel face is assembled from as many veneer leaves as individual sheets of veneer as necessary. This often results in a non-symmetrical appearance, with some veneer leaves of unequal width. Often the most economical method at the expense of aesthetics, it is the standard for maximizing the yield of the flitch. Running matches are seldom "sequenced and numbered" for use as adjacent architectural panels unless custom ordered. Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding's hardwood plywood inventory is manufactured as a running match panel.

Running Match:  Individual leaves are split between panels.

Balance Match (Architectural Grade)

Each panel is assembled from veneer leaves of uniform width before edge trimming. Panels may contain an even or odd number of leaves, and distribution may change from panel to panel within a sequence set.  This method is the standard for Premium Grade architectural requirements and is the most common assembly method for architectural grades of hardwood panels. These panels are always sequence matched and numbered.
