I am restoring an antique rent table that has a leathered top .The leather
sits inside a 1"veneer edge banding about the same thickness as the skivver,
much of which is missing ..
The edgebanding is about 1/16" and I am have trouble finding sources of
veneer that thick,I would be pleased if anyone has a source . The only
alternative as I see it is to make ones own or glue two layers of existing
veneer together which is a pain .....thanks in advance.....mjh

worthwhile checking.

you'll likely have to make it. I don't know what tools you have, but
it's not too big a deal, even with hand tools.
