>John -

I've bought a lot of veneer from an outfit called Constantine's. Good quality stuff and I never had a problem with service. They used to have a warehouse in New York and one in Florida - I think the one in New York is defunct now, but Florida operation is alive and well. They have a website, the link is below. I think they discontinued their catalog in hard copy, but there's a web-based version of it on the site. It's called the "electronic catalog" or something.

There's also a place in Atlanta called McClendon Hardwoods. No catalog, but I called there once and told the guy what I wanted and it was on my porch three days later.

http://www.woodspunworkshop.com I started turning wood about 50 years ago. Unfortunately, I stopped turning wood about 49 years ago. If you haven't guessed, that was high school wood shop, and my brief encounter with the lathe stayed in my memory all my working life. I retired from the US Public Health Service in 1993, moved to West Virginia, bought a lathe, and started back up again. Soon afterward, I met an old man who had been a mouldmaker and patternmaker in the glass industry that once thrived here. I spent a year learning his method of segmented turning - different in the preparation stage from most methods used today - and he became my mentor and friend. More than anything, I learned patience from him. I still do segmented work (using his method) but have now branched out into some other areas. Along the way, I moved up to a Robust American Beauty lathe. I sell my work in a few galleries and I find tremendous satisfaction in woodturning. I'm also an old-time fiddler and square dance caller, and I spend more time with that in the summer, more time in the shop in the winter. Take a look at my website to see my shop and some of my work.

>I use McClendons in Atlanta - good prices and superior quality. Other than some exotic turning stock, Veneers are all this guy does.
