Ok guys, where do you get your exotic and figured wood veneers? Best place for price, quality, etc.
I typically need 6-8 inch by 48 inches, to go around a cylinder. (I make drums if you haven't figured it out.)
Thanks!

I'm really happy with these guys:
Take a look at "Certainly Wood". It's a place about 20 miles outside Buffalo.
eBay
Yes, I see they carry a lot of inlay material. Thanks.
NICE!
They have some great looking stuff. The minimum length I would use is about 38" for a 12" snare. I don't like seems. :-)
I've purchased veneer from B&B rare woods. They have pictures of each bundle of veneer so you can browse on-line
You should also search thru the forum at Vacupress. The topic of veneering cylinders (and veneering just about everything else) has come up there and you might get some tips..
Thanks for the links.
I think I ran across that vacupress forum (but lost the link), when I was looking to veneer Bubinga to the 'inside' of a
20" diameter drum hoop. So, thanks again.BTW, I ended up using a bicycle tire inner tube!

Last time I was in the place, they were putting a shipment together of drum mfg supplies for a guy in New Zealand.

Thanks, Lew. I know Anderson. I can get shells from the same place they get their shells, if I'm using ply shells.
But I'd rather make them. Stave. What I'd like to try is steam bending, but I just don't have the room.
I've bought and been happy with veneersupplies.com.
