Grain matching
Many parts of a chest of drawers are made of several
pieces of wood glued together, a process which is called
laminating.
Plywood is a form of lamination where the
pieces of wood are glued together face-on, but equally
common is the type where boards are glued together
edge on, creating a wider piece of wood. Tops of chests
are the most common example.
In this case a lot of
responsibility falls on the person doing the grain
matching, making sure that boards will look right next
to each other, in tone, colour and grain pattern. It sounds
easier than it is because at this stage the wood is still pretty rough, and the grain hard to see.
Fine Mill
Fine Mill is the stage at which the components
created in Rough Mill are refined.
