Radial Match Booklet by Schürch

This eight page booklet describes the procedure for creating the radial match (also called the sunburst, starburst or the "pizza" match). This is copied from Chapter 3 of the DVD and Book "Marquetry", and is usually sold with the radial templates, item T205. There are drawings and various techniques described. A brief description on creating radial matches goes as follows:
The template is placed over a bundle (10,12 or 16 pieces) of veneer, and used to mark out the triangular shape. The whole stack can be cut with the veneer saw and the V-edge, and the joints cleaned up with a sanding block. It can also be used to mark and cut each leaf individually with the chisel or scalpel using the template or V-edge as a fence. Care must be taken not to cut into the template, and the template needs to be placed in the same spot leaf after leaf, so that the grain pattern will line up around the circle. The leaves would normally be laid out in a bookmatch pattern to maximize the starburst effect, or selected at an angle to create herringbone effect. (Schürch ®)
