    Default looking for Yosegi Zaiku veneer

    Does anyone know of a source for veneer sheets of Japanese Yosegi Zaiku? I'm considering trying my hand at some puzzle boxes and I'd like to veneer them in authentic traditional patterns.

    I can't give a name, but there is a large shop in Hakone, with a workshop below it, that may be able to help you. I'll chase around on Google Maps later and see if I can find the address for you.

    Thumbs up

    I have a small notebook with that on the cover. It was given to me by a Japanese
    exchange student some years ago.

    That of course is no use to you!

    Thanks, and an e-mail address would help since I'm way over the big blue.

    The guys that make these seem to keep their work close, but you'd think there should be somewhere you could get your hands on it.

    Thanks guys for the responses.

    If so thanks for the lead. I sent them an e-mail request.

    GulfcoastGuy, that's not the place I was thinking of, but it's just up the road and would probably be able to help. My daughter bought a magnificent marquetry dragon from that place.

    They don't sell just the veneer sheets so that's a bust. If you have anything else it'd be appreciated.
