European Sycamore Master Suite

This entire master suite, which includes the bedroom, closet and bath, built in cabinetry and furnishings, for the most part, are finished with quarter figured European Sycamore, figured North American Maple, Birds Eye Maple and Maple Burl. If you will notice, the quarter cut Sycamore is slip matched to avoid barber poleing. Barber pole is when veneer leaves are dark then light then dark again and so on and so on. One reason this happens is that, when veneer gets sliced, one side of the blade opens the grain more and the other side of the blade closes the grain more. When you combine that with the grain appearance you are after, such as quarter cut versus flat cut, and the species you are cutting, you can easily have shade problems. Slip matching quarter figured veneer can work really well if the figure is running very parallel to the grain of the wood. It can be a lot easier to slip match flat cut.
