    Oak veneer door skins

    Hi All,

    Anyone have an ideal where I could order a few door skins. Tried ever where local and then all over the USA, no one would ship to New Mexico.

    Many thanks,

    I buy veneer from my local lumber yard or Woodcraft. Oakwoodveneer.com is also a good source. If you are looking for Oak Veneered 5mm panels then oyu can get theem at Home Depot or Lowe's

    Door skins seem to have gone away. However, eighth-inch plywood in 4'x8' size still is around. I think its primary use is re-skinning kitchen cabinets in place, and the larger sheet gives the re-skinner more ways to lay out his cuts. Of course, while the plywood is called eighth-inch, it is more like 3/32".

    I just re-skinned my basement door with a Mahogany 4x8 x 1/4" ply and it worked great. I'm sure Oak would work too.
    I took took opportunity to add some solid foam insulation while I had it open, but one warning - I used Elmer's contact cement, and I was/am TOTALLY convinced another brand would be better.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    You can buy 1/16" thick veneer in some species from Certainly wood, but if you need thicker than that you will have to find someone local to make them for you. 1/16" rolls up for shipping, 1/8"+ does not. https://www.certainlywood.com/result...0figured%20red
