Odd Veneers and Bookmatches
It's becoming hard to find highly figured veneers in large sizes. You'll often find it necessary to join two or more pieces of veneer together to make up a large panel. The good news is that this method can reveal some amazing results that can only be achieved with veneer. Even the most mundane veneers offer stunning character potential. Sometimes the results are truly amazing. Here are some of nicer ones that I have seen.
