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

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!

Just stumbled upon this while ordering some ply. For sth east Queensland residents, Sharp Plywood. I had no idea these guys did veneers. Score.
