book-matched

book-matched: veneer leaves are alternately folded out as if opening the centre spread of a book, so that one veneer is a mirror image of the next (the most widely used method)

Description in French:

des teintes différentes, la surface coupée des fibres affleurantes agissant comme autant de petits miroirs diffractant. On l'observe bien sur les pièces du cadre d'une porte, qui semblent alternativement sombres ou claires selon la position de la source lumineuse par rapport à l'oeil. Sur un placage frisé "à livre ouvert", ce contraste rythmé s'apparente à un "métamérisme", autrement dit une reproduction du même motif, recherché dans les lambris.

Le frisage est dit "glissé" si les feuilles de placage sont à fil parallèle, et "à livre ouvert" si une feuille sur deux est retournée, donnant ainsi des décors aux ramages symétriques.
