Looking for stainable veneer - super thin!
javeryh:
Anyone know where I can get some wicked thin stainable veneer? I need to match the grain of cabinet grade birch plywood. I need a fairly large piece - big enough to cover the side off a cocktail cabinet. Any leads would be appreciated!
:cheers:

You can pick up veneer at most big box stores or lumber yards. I know home depot carries it in widths up to 24 inches.

Yup. I need to:
- cut out the CP and remove the coin door on that one side.
- cut out pieces of plywood to fill in the holes.
- bondo and sand
- add the veneer
- cut a new hole for the coin door (it needs to be higher now).
- stain and poly
That's doable in a weekend I think except for the stain and poly which will likely be spread out over a few nights to allow for drying.

Really? I haven't noticed... I'll have to check the Home Depot and see what they've got.

Good luck... I think a decent option might be laminating over whats already there. It still might only take a weekend... but it'll be a full weekend.
