This very simple jig is used to help visualize what a quadmatch or sunburst layup of veneer will look like when complete. It consists of two mirrors held together at one end with duct tape. The tape acts as a hinge and allows you to change the angle of the mirrors. When held at the appropriate angle, the mirrors will show a multi-layered reflection of the veneer.
