Spalted Maple Veneer

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.

Slice it. I do. Mark for bookmatch for even # of pieces, slip match odd #.

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?

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.

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...
