Veneer sources in Southern Ontario

[ted]

I'm looking at refacing my kitchen cabinets and I need a source for some good quality maple or oak veneer around the London, Ontario area. Any ideas?

If Cambridge isn't too far, A&M has a great veneer selection.

Give these two a shot:

(Excellent service) (looks promising, haven't tried them yet)

Try

for mail order. I've bought a lot of excellent veneers from him. Has a lot of specialty figured stuff if that's your interest also.

Since I was looking for a veneer source I persisted... Here is the McFadden Veneer catalogue link. The PDF is quite good. It actually has useful information.

put up the McFadden web site should be ashamed. The menus are almost impossible to use - most of them are unusable. Company documents are freely available etc. All-in-all an embarrassment to the web development "profession".

Now if only they ditch their web developer and fix things up a bit...

Ted... worth the quick drive. It is an experience.

go way 'out there' because they also supply the Neaderthals who make musical instruments etc...wood turners too, IIRC.

Another one of their websites:

actually publish prices, so you will discouver very quickly that you can drop a bundle there if you so desire. The more mainstream veneers are a bit more than other places, but the difference in quality is well worth it. (Over a whole kitchen you might spend an additional

10%)

What are you going to do in regards to your doors? Want a deal on solid surface? Here's my business card:

Sarnia.

Marc.. they are both excellent suppliers. Tim Webber at the Mcfaddens London office is a great guy to deal with... so is Greg Samson.

Cabinetmart is good also, I kinda miss Bob Joynts humour though...

btw.. how's your brother?

I agree. Otherwise an excellent company to deal with.

[Marc Rhéaume]

I'd most likely say he's fine, but I don't have any siblings. Chances are you have the wrong guy...or my Mom and Dad have lied to me all those years!

Good to hear. I will try them out for some veneer.

And they are just down the street from the HD I usually go to. How convenient ;)

The OP was looking for veneer. If you want Oak/Cherry/Mahogany/Birch etc, then they look pretty good. A&M in Cambridge has a wider selection of exotics by the look of it. (I've been to A&M and they have varieties I'd never heard of.)

You don't look silly yet. Let me talk to my parents first!

I also found their site hard to use, so I sent them some feedback. A nice lady responded but just said 'sorry, use Internet Explorer and make sure Javascript is enabled'. Sigh.

I am actually in the market for some Nevamar laminate to replace an existing piece of Nevamar laminate. They carry it, but their menu system is so messed up the I can't get to that section of their site.

If you visit their site and find it hard to use, you might also post some feedback. Rob
