Tim,

I bought mine from Certainly Wood on the recommendation of Rob Macks at the time I was building my Panache. Their special thickness veneers are a little thicker than most veneers and are good for coamings (and cradles). When I ordered ash from them, it all came rolled up packaged in a couple boxes. Each sheet of veneer was roughly 10" wide by 8' long. I've been happy with what I bought and will not hesitate to order from them again (and I'll soon have to).

Good luck on the cradles.
