Thanks dleo. I had an idea of what bookmatching means in woodworking, like bookmatched wood on guitars, violins and such. But I'm still a little confused as to its meaning in rod making. Does it mean the adjacent flats on a particular tip are mirrored? What is mirrored? The nodes? The power fiber edges? Is there any special relationship between the two complete tips? I've searched the net and I find references to rods that have bookmatched tips, but no explanations, and no usable pictures.
