Russian translation:подбор фактуры

Explanation:
is the practice of matching the grain of wood so that the lines of the grain meet one another on ornate objects, such as a Violin, Guitar or the interior of super luxury cars such as Rolls Royce cars. Book matching is done by splitting a piece of wood in two so that the horizontal grain appears to create one continuous line when matched up against one another, and so that the lines are perpendicular to the seam, similar to a book. The effect can range from extremely subtle so that it appears to be a single piece of wood, to dramatic effects with very wavy grain showcased in high end guitars.
