Teak Veneer

Does anyone know where I can find some teak veneer for the interior bulkheads?  The veneer has come off the plywood in some places, and I wanted to fix it and rejuvenate the interior bulkheads during the offseason.  Thanks for all your help.

I had purchased 1/16 inch Mahogany veneer for my previous boat, a Cheoy Lee. I got it from a Lumber Yard on Long Island NY that carried specialty and exotic wood products. Unfortunately it went out of business. Big loss to us woodie types. So try a search of yards in your area. It came in widths of like 12-18 inches in a roll. Not cheap.

Thanks Gary, good idea.  I wasn't sure if I needed to go to a marine store. I really only need a 12" x 16" piece..

there is a lot of teak veneer available on the web - I've purchased 1/4 ply locally - search for "PSA teak veneer"  -- the paper backed self stick is much easier to work with if you don't deal with veneers too often -

Good point, I'll look into that as well.
