Does anybody know where I can buy some Quilted maple or Flame maple veneer in Australia. I need enough to do a bass body and a head stock. I've already looked on ebay but couldn't find what I wanted.

Hi Peter,
PM Brendan, he's got an online source. I know that Muzza used one recently but was less than happy with the quality. Also SIMplEONe did a scratch build recently and used a Sydney based supplier, if i am not mistaken.
If you get an online source can you post it here so I know too ;)
My less-than-adequate supplier only did pieces large enough for headstocks.
Try TopVeneer.com.au happy with the stuff I got from them - mixed marquetry pack - enough for a couple of headstocks of random veneers including a sheet of ebony!
Source of ebony veneers would be nice.....
http://topveneer.com.au/copy-of-ebon...x-85cm-b-grade - current stock "B" grade and from memory 0.6mm thick.
Just stumbled upon this while ordering some ply. For sth east Queensland residents, Sharp Plywood. I had no idea these guys did veneers. Score.

Quilted Bubinga, Flamed Mahogany? Yes please.
Noice find there Pabs! 😀
some sweet veneers there Pabs, good find. Be interested to see how the pricing works out if you get any Pabs
I've just requested they send me some samples, as my company is already a client of theirs. Hoping for offcuts rather than sample chips, but we'll see. I'll post pics when I get them.
good stuff Pabs, can't wait to see some samples. I'd ask for samples big enough for a headstock veneer ! hahah
Kinda what I'm hoping for. *wink. LOL
Marquetry sample packs tend to be about the right size.
Hey guys,
I'm considering adding a flamed veneer on a new kit I received recently.
Did you guys manage to find a decent supplier?
Cheers
Fred
Hey Fred. Check out there are a few links on page one of this thread
Hi Guys,
I found someone just 15mins from me I'll let you know how I go.
This is the website http://www.yateswood.com.au/index.shtml
wow looks like a good find there Poida, some nice veneers on the website, please post some pics of the veneer you scored !
The walnut burl on there looks very tasty.
Guitar and woods has some lovely veneers as in all things purchased abroad check the postage costs.
