Arran, I had not even heard of Oriental Wood until I started working on radio cabinets. It's not a real common veneer. I buy most of my veneer from Ebay sellers. I have only found two sellers that have Oriental Wood veneer at a reasonable price. A while back I bought four sheets that were about 8" x 36" and were supposed to be consecutive sheets. I used two of them on the first 70 cabinet but when I started to do this arch, I discovered one was an odd piece. So, those two pieces are pretty much worthless. Fortunately, I had bought several pieces from another fellow.
