Comment by Matt Ryan on February 15, 2011 at 15:29: it was a local guy. he said it was a grade veneer and good for boards. i can't remember the name but he said a few people had bought it off him for board building. i am now contacting a couple other companies that are local ( sharp plywood and a few others)

Comment by H_Can on February 15, 2011 at 9:58: having only ever bought shortboard sized veneers i'd guess that for longboard size that wouldnt be to far off the mark.

where you getting that price from?

i only ever tracked down briggs as a maple veneer source here...

but i did recently dig up some info on a few guys in tassie that look like promising sources for some fancy 1.5mm tassie hardwood veneers

Comment by Matt Ryan on February 14, 2011 at 18:08: what are you guys paying for veneer?

does 70 dollars sound about right?
