Any good veneer suppliers?

[IAmTheAntipop]

I've looked for a good veneer supplier but it seems I can't find any supplier that can fit the dimension of a whole bass body, I'm also having a hard time finding veneer of non-macassar ebony, just black ebony, so if anyone knows one please let me know! Thanks!

Certainly Wood is pretty nice. Not sure what your purpose is with black ebony veneer (or if CW has it) but it can go north of $30/sf. That's spendy and unless you have to have it you can get dyed black veneer (anigre, gum, or marfim) for $2.50/sf.

It is only to place between the body and the top of my project, so ebony isn't a must, it's only to be flashy haha! And I've been looking for black dyed veneers but I still can't find it in the dimensions I need, the best I found is a company that can go up to 10'' x 36'', I need a 15'' x 22'' veneer...

I think most people use 2 pieces

No worries i have some one piece i am not sure it is 15 wide I would have to measure it.

I have used certainly wood and http://www.veneersupplies.com/ Both have great service.

The last time I went here these guys had some great Birdseye and curly maple veneer.

Certainly Wood lists "BLK GUM" at up to 16" wide. they may have it.

I'd definitely look to save some money if it's just an accent.

Thanks guys! I bought my veneer from certainlywoods.com
Also, just a thought that might be a nice addition to Luthier's Corner stickies, a supplier thread, we would add suppliers for body blanks, veneer, luthier tools, etc.
Just an idea ^^
And this is a bit off-topic but does anyone know where to find one piece alder blanks? Thanks!
