The rosette
Hold Alt to sample or Shift to fill whatever tool is chosen, and Space to move without leaving the brush. Number keys pick a veneer.
Bookmatching lays every other tile face down, which mirrors it left to right. Flipping vertically turns every other tile end for end, so its outer edge faces the soundhole. Either makes a pair of tiles the repeat, and neither changes a log already symmetric that way.

Top is the outside of the rosette. Drag any ruler edge to change a thickness - it snaps to stock veneer sizes; hold Alt to go off-stock.
