Source for Small Pieces of Veneer

[Wilsoncb]

Looking for 14” x 18” (ish) piece of veneer. Where’s the best place either on line or in the Piedmont Triad area (Greensboro, Winsto-Salem, High Poin). Highly figured, quilted or burled preferably. I looked at Herzog but they mostly had bigger stock. This is for a one-off type project so I don’t want a bunch of leftover since it’s probably going to be expensive.

Not sure if I have any that big. Will look tonight. If you can use it you can have it.

You might look on Ebay. Get as much or as little as you need, and have it delivered to your door. Otherwise, commercial veneer houses, but for as small quantity as you mentioned, you may be a PITA customer and not get answers to your inquiries.

Good luck

Thanks, I just got back from Klingspor’s (W-S) and it looks like that’s who they get their veneers from. I didn’t find anything there, but I found a piece that will work from the site @Woodmolds suggested. I will definitely check out Sauers next time so I can save on shipping.

Wilson do you have what you need?

Wilson do you have what you need?

Yes, thanks. I ordered a small piece from Veneer Suppliers.

If that doesn’t work, I have some maple and mahogany that size.
Sorry for the slow response.

I have a good stock of Mahogany veneer. Most of it is crotch figure, aka flame figure. I can look through for 14" X 18", but that should be attainable. As with most Mahogany, it will not be flat. You will need to soak it then dry it between plattens for ~3 days.
Your challenge is; I live in Charlotte.
I am willing to donate 1-2 pieces if you can get here to help choose what you want.

Thanks for the offer. I have already found a piece of chestnut burl.

I could shoot some pics of possible pieces for you. I could ups them if you pay only shipping. To protect the veneer I would need to pack them with Masonite covers. This will up the weight, but without then you would receive splinters.
