I'm going to be starting some speakers in the neer future and have some questions.

Hax anyone used veneers form Herzog veneers? http://www.veneeronline.com/home.aspx

they offer paper backed veneers and lots, sleeves of raw stock. The raw stock seemes thin, really thin .6mm. Before ordering somethin cheep to play with just wondering if this product is to thin to work with.

thanks marty

I used 22m veneer from Oakwood.  They have a huge selection.  The 22m paper backed Veneer has advantages of being easy to trim with a Veneer saw for perfect edges, is still flexible, and it is less apt to sand through prior to applying any finish.

I bookmarked this seller based on a recommendation from this forum, but haven't used him.

I've used 10-mil paper-backed for many years.  I've bought almost exclusively from Tape-Ease, but recently a customer wanted samples and after two weeks following my request, I called TE and the guy found the package and said he'd send it next day.  I asked him to ship it to the customer, and over a week later, the customer said: "no samples".  Couple of days later, the samples arrived and they were incomplete and very small.
I contacted Sal at Monster WoodShop in of all places, Brooklyn, NY.  NICE guy - sent me several 8 x 10 samples immediately and has no minimum order:

I also contacted Formwood and they sent me several 8 x 10 samples immediately. Also, no minimum # of sheets order:

Thanks for all the replys. I thought I would post a pic of what i bought. I bought it from Herzog, 36 sqft. It came in a bundle of 32 consecutive pieces about 5.5" X 30". I bought it becouse it was inexpensive and I had enough to learn how to veneer. It shipped for $41.

Christof, do you use raw or paper-backed?

I use both but prefer raw veneer
