skibum5545 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Does anyone know where to get really thin ebony (gaboon, i think, black ebony anywho)? I only need a small patch, maybe 4 in x 6 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I've been looking for a very very long time. It's really hard to find a good place for veneer. Lemme check my bookmarks. Looks like the one I found most helpful is down now. Lots of different veneer available here. There is some Macassar Ebony, and some Wenge there too. Rosewood available here Hope you find this helpful Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 is this big enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 hmm... how big is the average control cavity cover on a bass (for a rear rout), and would that cover it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 that depends how many controls you are going to have...I think you should be alright with 3 3/4" x 8" But i'm not totally sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I guess you really didn't want veneer, you wanted thin wood. I know www.rockler.com sells some thin exotics. They don't have ebony, but you might want to check them out. Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I have been looking at rockler lately, but ebony has been back-ordered for months now. I was thinking of just gluing ebony veneer on the face of another thin piece of wood, but you're right, all I REALLY want is 1/8" ebony.
