casuarina (she-oak)

[rac50]

I have been trying to locate a small amount or any amount of casuarina, (she-oak) veneer for repairs to a period piece that I purchased some years back. I have tried many of the domestic suppliers I've used to no avail. Perhaps someone in our membership has some they are willing to part with.
Thanks, Ross

Its also called lacewood. Not sure if its the exact same species or not. Certainly wood has it or https://www.workshopheaven.com/lace-sheoak-casuarina-knife-handle-blank.html You could also look at Eisenbrand, Hearne, or Rare woods.

Thanks for the reply. I spoke with the folks at Certainly wood where I have purchased most of my veneer since they opened in the 80's. They said they didn't have any. I did take your advise and found a small quantity of lacewood on eBay and with some dying of the veneer it will work out for my project.
