Welcome to the abyss Lesterz, it's all down hill from here, but rewarding.

Try Sharp Plywood at Wacol, Plywood, X-Board Plus, Timber Veneer, MDF, Particleboard: Homel

If you get stuck I have a well stocked veneer hoard, including the species you are after. Fine Boxes

When using veneers It's better to veneer both side whether they will be lined or not. It helps balance the stresses on the sub-straight reducing the chances of distortion down the track.

Little more info about veneering, if you are going to lay some yourself, When using plywood always lay 90 degrees to the under surface grain. but when veneering over solid timber lay parallel to the under surface.

All the best and enjoy it.


Cheers

Hi Lesterz.
Another way to tackle this issue is to make your own. Find a supplier of veneers, so you can select whatever wood you choose and then glue it to one side of 3mm or 5mm MDF. Just allow a few millimetres extra to trim after the glueing of the veneer.
As most boxes are small you are dealing with something usually less than A4 in size and this is easy to clamp between two pieces of 12mm or thicker MDF when gluing the veneer to the MDF.
It will be somewhat cheaper than buying veneered ply and MDF is very stable. I have used this method a few times and I have not experienced any warpage when veneering one side only on MDF.
It has the advantage that often the single veneers are more select quality and thus have better grain patterns.
