chrisb691 26th November 2005, 01:37 PM It does't look like this forum is terribly active, but I'll give it a go anyway. I was wondering if any of the marquetarians out there know of any sources of veneer offcuts in the Melbourne area? For use in marquetry of course.
Thanks, Chris

chrisb691 26th November 2005, 06:24 PM I already pickup some on ebay. Some from Tas, and some from UK. I would love to find a cabinet maker etc, who currently junks their offcuts.

has a very wide range of marquetry veneers in many different sizes, including offcuts the last time I was there, and in mnay different timbers. I suggest you give him a try. That is the best source I know in Melbourne
chrisb691 30th November 2005, 09:40 PM Thanks Charles,
I know Peter, the only problem is that you need to be specific about what you're after, whilst I am just trying to build up a range. Maybe I'll try asking him for $x of assorted A4 bits, and see what he says.

willex 18th December 2005, 10:32 AM :( It's a pity you are not in Sydney. I have access to a large box (1500mm x 800mm x 800mm) of veneer offcuts which anyone can have for the taking. That is, you have to take the whole box and it is heavy.
Anyone interested?

Willex, I posted your offer in the timber forum. I'm pretty sure someone will be interested.
willex 19th December 2005, 07:25 AM Thanks Chrisb691 for forwarding my reply. If I don't get a response I will sell it on Ebay. :)
