Have you tried woodfinder.com?

Type in one of the woods you want and it gives suppliers names.

I can't rate the suppliers, but typing in "pink ivory" gave me hits in more
than 24 states.

Another good place for veneer is "Certainly Wood" at:

http://www.certainlywood.com/

Both Advantage Lumber and Certainly Wood are in the Buffalo area. I've had
excellent dealings with both.

That's an interesting site. I found some places in my area I
hadn't heard of. Looks like a good excuse to go take a ride
early next week, thanks.

It did miss the three good places within 30 miles that I
currently go to, so it's another good resource, not an only
resource.
