Veneer sellers?

**jshaw** · 23rd March 2004, 02:44 PM

Hi folks,

Now that I've almost finished our new entertainment unit and bookshelves (in finest Magnet Mart cheapo pine!) the missus thinks that our very dark veneered speakers are out of place. I was thinking of veneering over them with something lighter but need to ask a couple of things.

1. Is there any reason why I shouldn't veneer over veneer?

2. Where can I get something suitable that isn't some beautifully figured, fiddleback, birdseyed cost-a-packet veneer that makes me think I should be getting the whole tree for that amount? The only place I've seen around Canberra is Bunnings and they want about $70 per pack. I haven't measured this job up yet but I reckon I'd be looking at several packs.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
John

THere is a place in Braybrook (suburb of Melb) that is quite reasonable

Give these these guys a call.
Not sure if they can help.

Glenn, Hem,

Thanks guys. Must admit to having bagged out Bunnings under false pretenses this time. I had a better look on Saturday and they do have some pine veneer sheets (1200 x 300 mm) at a much more reasonable $14 each. Must learn to be more careful ...

Cheers,
John

Timberwood Trading in Brunswick VIC.

Last time I got some iron on it was about $12-15 for 2.4m x 300mm. Non heat glued was about a dollar cheaper.

They stock many many species, I used Tassie Oak, but they certainly have Jarrah, and few of the exotics.

They used to be in Albion St but moved recently closer to Brunswick proper.
