levitatormusic Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 I've searched all over the internet, supplies section of this website, the websites listed there, and this forum. I'm sure this has been posted 100 times but i did try before posting...anyway... I'm looking for a place to buy a spalted maple veneer for a guitar top I'm refinishing and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Id like for it to be a decent thickness as I'll be staining/sanding/staining/sanding to bring the figure out. Can anyone help me? Quote
killemall8 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 What do you consider "veneer"? veneer is almost never thick enough to have a lot of sanding an staining done before it gets too thin. VEneer, from a standard market definition is 1/42" thick. Quote
Prostheta Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 Spalted might prove more difficult than normal veneers. Usually it is soft and structurally weak in places so veneers would have to be thicker, otherwise the sawyer would have too much in the way of losses. @killemall8 usually has a sweet bead on some spectacular veneers, so you might benefit from his input.
