I'm looking at refacing my kitchen cabinets and I need a source for some
good quality maple or oak veneer around the London, Ontario area. Any
ideas?

If Cambridge isn't too far, A&M has a great veneer selection.

Give these two a shot:

http://www.mcfaddens.com (looks promising, haven't tried them yet)

Try www.joewoodworker.com for mail order. I've bought a lot of excellent
veneers from him. Has a lot of specialty figured stuff if that's your
interest also.

Since I was looking for a veneer source I persisted... Here is the
McFadden Veneer catalogue link. The PDF is quite good. It actually has
useful information.

http://www.mcfaddens.com/contact_us/...Faddens10E.pdf

Whoever put up the McFadden web site should be ashamed. The menus are
almost impossible to use - most of them are unusable. Company documents
are freely available etc. All-in-all an embarrassment to the web
development "profession".

Now if only they ditch their web developer and fix things up a bit...

Ted... worth the quick drive. It is an experience.

http://www.amwoodinc.com/canada/

They go way 'out there' because they also supply the Neaderthals who
make musical instruments etc...wood turners too, IIRC.

Another one of their websites:

http://www.forloversofwood.com/canada/gallery.html

....they actually publish prices, so you will discouver very quickly that
you can drop a bundle there if you so desire. The more mainstream
veneers are a bit more than other places, but the difference in quality
is well worth it. (Over a whole kitchen you might spend an additional
10%)

What are you going to do in regards to your doors?

Marc.. they are both excellent suppliers. Tim Webber at the Mcfaddens
London office is a great guy to deal with... so is Greg Samson.

Cabinetmart is good also, I kinda miss Bob Joynts humour though...

btw.. how's your brother?

I agree. Otherwise an excellent company to deal with.

I'd most likely say he's fine, but I don't have any siblings. Chances are
you have the wrong guy...or my Mom and Dad have lied to me all those years!

Don't *I* look silly, eh?

LOL

And they are just down the street from the HD I usually go to. How
convenient

The OP was looking for veneer. If you want Oak/Cherry/Mahogany/Birch
etc, then they look pretty good. A&M in Cambridge has a wider selection
of exotics by the look of it. (I've been to A&M and they have varieties
I'd never heard of.)

Rob

You don't look silly yet. Let me talk to my parents first!

I also found their site hard to use, so I sent them some feedback. A
nice lady responded but just said 'sorry, use Internet Explorer and make
sure Javascript is enabled'. Sigh.

I am actually in the market for some Nevamar laminate to replace an
existing piece of Nevamar laminate. They carry it, but their menu
system is so messed up the I can't get to that section of their site.

If you visit their site and find it hard to use, you might also post
some feedback.
