It still looks very good Dwight, even if the lines don't match up exactly it still looks "balanced". Another thing that can throw off book matching is the thickness of the kerf of the saw blade. If the grain is running out and kerf is 1/8" thick you won't have mirror images. That's where veneer, which is cut with knife. has the advantage. If you didn't already use one look into using a thin kerf 7 1/4" blade in your table saw before ripping more strips.
