Joseph;
When I made veneer patches I always tried to avoid creating straight edges particularly when I was cutting across the grain. I tried to mimic the shape of of the grain, like the ring pattern, where it has these irregular arrow head or oval shapes, the more irregular the better. The human eye tends to be more drawn to straight edges then curved ones.

Arran
