jwc Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Very nice. Where do you get your veneers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Very nice. Where do you get your veneers? Some I get off Ebay. There are several sellers that are selling sheets they have left over from other projects or mills that sell end pieces or cut off trim pieces of larger sheets. This works great for smaller projects. Sometimes you can find larger sheets too. Ebay is where I got the sapele veneer for my speakers. These sheets were large enough that I used one piece for the tops and one piece for each side of my speakers. For full size sheets my normal go to is oakwoodveneer.com or Rockler.com Edited March 16, 2016 by Wardsweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 awesome. thx. Do you get "bare veneer" (w/o the preattached glue) and if so, what glue do you use? Titebond II ? Cement? jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
