Wide Walnut Veneer
8/20/22
We dont do a ton of veneer work but have a job on the list that will require two small doors and the customer wants horizontal grain direction on a pair of 19" tall x 12" wide doors so we'd be looking for perhaps a 20" wide x 24-30" long piece of veneer that isnt stitched/matched for width. Ive searched my limited knowledge base of sources and the google but not coming up with anything that wide that would be a sheet from a single log (which I understand would be a massive log).
My feeling on this has been to just get the widest I can and do the best slip match I can in the shop but didnt know if there was a source for small quantities of wide material.
Thanks.

Slip matching rift cut veneer will basically make the seam invisible. Did you try Certainly Wood? They show several flitches of flat cut at 20" and wider.
