Teak Veneered plywood

[Ianqv]

Hi,
Does anyone have any teak veneered ply that they are willing to sell? Or know where i may be able to find some around the essex area?

Many thanks in advance

If you cannot find any, then consider buying some teak veneer to bond onto some marine plywood. Most comes in sheets, and some is preglued with a heat activated PVA glue. Plenty on offer on eBay or via specialist veneer suppliers.

Many thanks, that could be an option.
Cheers

Smiths Timber of Lowestoft had some last time I asked a year or three back. Maybe they still do.

Can't see Smiths have teak plywood listed. Robbins is £354 + VAT for 8 x 4' 1/4" thick. I am thinking about getting some delivered by them to Titchmarsh Marina (just in case anybody wants to order/share delivery costs).

I have a pack of 9 leaves of 2.8mm teak veneer, 2.8m x 140mm £150 if interested in going down Concerto's suggested route.

I stuck veneer to plywood and turned out well (I think).

Hi Harvey38. Thats just the style of finish I think i need for a window surround project. Could you supply a link for that veneer?

Many thanks

Have a look on ebay as there is a lot. Can be glue it yourself or the iron on self adhesive

 

[riverliver]

I did but couldn't see anything close to that used by Harvey38 which looks exactly like what I need.

Harvey38s veneer looks like sapele. There really is lots and lots on ebay.. this was the first i came across
Are you allowing for the colour change when varnished ?

Yes.

I cut the plywood pieces to size, veneered them then glued and screwed together. I have some big sheets of Sapele so I used a router to get the shape of the edge mouldings then cut them to the finished thickness on the table saw, an electric chop saw then gave me accurate 45 degree cuts.

A quick rub down with the grain and five coats of Epifanes two pack for the finish.

It's been a long process, the first two mock ups were made from MDF and I've yet to add a very nice custom made switch panel thanks to @petem

thanks Harvey38 for being so helpful. On my Winter to do list

Just in case anybody does want stuff from Robbins, a friend at Titchmarsh is going to Robbins with his transit to pick up plywood, said he would be happy to pick up for others/sharing diesel costs etc, and deliver between Colchester & Ipswich. Likely to go in February.
