Anyone know where I can get such a thing? Need it to be at least 14" long, wider the better.
I've checked a number of sources, can't seem to find it anywhere. Any tips, ideas or thoughts appreciated.

I don't know that I've ever seen spalted maple as a veneer before. By it's very nature (it's rotten wood), it's not very stable and cutting to a 1/32 or 1/40 veneer probably would not work very well.
Your best bet is to find some spalted maple (or beech) boards and resaw them yourself to a thicker veener (1/8 or 1/16) that would provide some stability. I've done that before with good results.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the various links, none of them have spalted maple listed. The last one was basically non-existent as it wouldn't open.
Any other ideas?

Slice it. I do. Mark for bookmatch for even # of pieces, slip match odd #.
I would if I had a bandsaw. But I don't and I currently don't have room for one. I wanted to try the veneer on a box project I'm working on. The search goes on...

try woodworking clubs in your area. try asking around at the place you buy hardwoods. sometimes they have one there that they will do a task for $x/hour (they do the cutting). try a local kitchen cabinet maker.
