Have a look around the junk shops for a 1930's burr walnut veneered bed head board. I made a dash for a mate many years ago using one. Beats
using veneer.

Probably more practical and harder wearing to use laminate (Formica for example) Trouble would be to buy a small peice not an 8 x 4 or bigger
sheet!

ps does europa do laminate ones?
The laminate flooring that comes in planks about 1/4 inch thick can come in some very exotic looking woods(fake but durable) and you can probably get
single damaged pieces or possible end cuts from a supplier.

I can lay veneer,but I chose not to!
Hi All,
ok invested just over £15 in a piece of hardwood window sill bull nosed wood. its 290mm deep but unfortunatly its 19mm thick. did not cost me too much
money so i am going to have a play with it and see what i can come up with. Also got about 2.15m of the stuff so might even have enough for 2 just
incase i mess up the 1st one. then when i mess up the second third and so on i can always go and buy more.
Cheers
Brian
new dash what do you think (early stages!)
