4 mm veneer of solid wood
Hi,
I'm chasing a veneer of solid wood, to go under (yup, under) an acoustic guitar fretboard which I'm about to remove and then re-instate (at its new height), on top of this veneer.
Dimensions - approx 4 mm thick (plus or minus a tad would be fine) by 500 mm long by 60 mm wide.
Wood type - something not too soft - Rosewood, Jarra, Basswood, Blackwood, Ebony......... not too fussed.
I've thought of buying a fretboard blank and planing it down, but I'm currently thinking that a veneer around the correct height might be a better option.
Located in Sydney's Inner West. Postage? I assume so, given the current conditions?.........
Cheers,
Bob Spencer - now doing a bunch of guitar repairs I've previously not had time to do........

I imagine that would be fairly easy to do if one had a thickness sander to clean up a ripping off your timber, be it from a table saw or a bandsaw with a half decent blade in it.
Mens sheds are closed at the moment, but you might be lucky with a forum member near you.
You might like to change your location from Melbourne to save some confusion.

Try Euge on this forum. He has plenty of exotic timbers which I've eye-balled myself (and drooled over).
Good luckIf you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

You could try J & C Thin Timber Supplies in Gympie. I met up with them at the Maleny Wood Expo last year, very good range and great people to deal with.
