Book matching question
Doug in Denver
>For those of you who bookmatch, either veneers or solid wood, do you tend to avoid or embrace book matching figured woods where the features in the wood look light or dark depending on the angle you are looking at them? In other words, once you flip a panel to book match an indentical panel, the same feature on either side of the seam may look very dark on one side of the seam and very light on the other side, and as you rotate the panel, the opposite effect occurs. This effect can arguably make the panel look less than book matched, and make the seam look fairly pronounced. I just wondered if it was common practice to avoid matching wood with that effect(which is a lot of woods) or if it's done all the time and is considered part of the beauty of book matching.
