Hi David,
Check out Gordon Peterson's wood dash restoral site:
http://www.rio.com/~peterson/ NFI, but I have exchanged e-mails with Gordon
and decided to have him restore the English walnut dash on my '67 Spitfire.
As for veneer sources, try to locate a woodworking store in your area. We
have one here in San Diego that's awesome. Tons of different veneers. I
even thought about doing a dash in zebrawood or birdseye maple. I still
may.
Good luck!
Jeff
'67 RHD Spitfire Mk3
