Going on decades old memories, I seem to recall that my own research found that
they used â??english walnutâ?? which does look different from a veneer labeled
â??walnutâ?? in the USA.
I did some quick googling to find an example. I think this link has good
images. I have no experience with them.
EUROPEAN WALNUT WOOD VENEER

Secondly, I misplaced my research notes when I was trying to develop a custom
dashâ?¦ so recall finding a clear coat that is used on real wood veneers in
aircraft to meet fire codes. I thought that would be the ticket for a vintage
race dash. I wish I could put my hands on that info for you!
