At Times I get material that is intended for veneers. When the pattern doesn't work out as intended I make it into parallel laminations. As you can see in the pic the feathering between the anual growth rings of this American Elm is very short and only slightly shows on one side.
American Elm Parallel laminations
1-3/4" x 36"
1 pr. in .030", 1pr. in .035" and 2 pr. in .040"
$8.00 per pair plus shipping in the CUS only
As stated in this thread several times, any veneers or laminations you see in the 1-3/4" width can easily be reduced to 1-1/2". I'll gladly do it at "no charge" if you need 1-1/2" pieces.
