Do any of you veneer experts know a source for wide veneer. I need 20 inch width to use for interior plys in my arch top guitar plates? I have been using 3/32 inch Finish birch plywood with success but it is expensive.

Kenny,

I do not believe there is any veneer supplier that specializes is wide veneer. If there is a particular species that you want wide stock in I would recommend contacting three or four different suppliers and let them know what you want. Between all of them over time you should be able to score some wide stock. Of course some species naturally come wider than others, so if you are flexible pick one thats usually wide.

Sincerely
Darryl Keil

Thanks Darryl, that is what I am finding out. I spoke with Certainly Wood Rep and he told me that no veneer is that wide unless it is rotary cut. But no plain wood is rotary cut, only the fancier stuff like birds eye and waterfall bubinga..

If I were to use narrower stock requiring a joint, can you think of any way to make the 4 or 5 inner plys without leaving the veneer tape on the glue face? Other than doing one at a time and removing the tape.

Kenny,

You would use three hole veneer tape that can be left in between your veneer layers.
