Veneer Inlays in Sydney, NSW | eBay



I think you would have better luck selling it as 1m lengths where people can buy a qty of strips to suit their project.

as you can see I've taken another picture.the background is beech veneer i also gave them a quick shot of spray lacquer witch shows up the coloured dye .the lighter veneer is natural ,the rest have been dyed including the black.the two wide strips and the wide green one are .8 thick the rest are 1 mm

That's a huge quantity for any weekend woody to take. You might be better approaching one of the vendors and see if they'd like the lot. Trend Timbers in Windsor sells these inlay strips. I have no real idea on what you could get for it. As previously suggested, you might have better luck breaking it down into smaller packs, but that's a lot of fiddling about, and you need to figure out how to post it so it doesn't get damaged. Good luck with it.

p.s. I work for one of the big not-for-profit aged care / retirement village groups in Sydney. We have men's sheds at each site, and I'm sure they'd gratefully receive any donations you might be willing to make if you can't find a buyer.

thanks mate i appreciate that ill see how things go on ebay.if they don't sell ill work out a way to sell individually, also in my fathers shed he has got some more veneer leaves and still lots of timber give me some time to sort through it all and i will donate some pieces to the shed boys.also had this pack of 70 pieces unfortunately they are stuck together any ideas how to separate them without damage

Not sure what you could use to get it unstuck. Most solvents would probably make the dye run. How "stuck" are they? Do you have a heat gun? Perhaps some gentle heat might work?

Could you gently run a feeler gauge along between them to separate them mechanically??

ill give your ideas a go on the weekend and get back to you thanks
