I've never done any veneer work, but sure do love the "pop" that special wood has, so i've been thinking about trying some veneer work on small boxes. As a result of this thread, i started a dialog with Paul Hinds (Post #6) who dug into his personal stock and put together an assortment for me to get my feet wet. Box arrived on Friday, my wife and i opened it last night--WOW!! I understand from Paul that his stock is all cut to a little more than 12", but it's perfect for a flat rate box and a LOT of veneer fits in that box.
Not to hijack the thread, but just wanted to give a shout-out to Paul for some beautiful wood and a great deal for a fellow Creeker. What started out to be a few questions on how to get started ended up being an excellent transaction. Thanks Paul!!
