Where to get 1/4" zebrano veneer stock?

Last time I looked I found plenty of places, now I can find none. Anyone? I would like to make some zebrano gauge clusters to drop into the ashtray location.

I don't know about 1/4" but Chad has a bunch of veneer he might sell you some and you can laminate it like he does...

Here are two sources:

Backordered here until 10/31/08

I buy 1/42" veneer and use contact cement on MDF or other cheaper solid wood.

I believe Woodcraft stocks it, if you have a store locally. However, what I did was buy a square foot of 1/4 birch ply and veneer it with zebrawood I bought off a guy on eBay ... I also just bought a pack of zebra veneer from Woodcraft that looks pretty nice. Link in my sig shows the final product.

The wood is usually sold as zebra wood. If you want that, try www.gilmerwood.com.

Admin, I don't believe that wood sellers are competing parts sellers, but if they are, please delete this post.
