I'm fitting out an old truck at the moment like a campervan. I'm doing the toilet at the moment and I'd love the walls to be pine.

Is all veneer really expensive? Like this:

Are there other options to veneer? Preferably real wood. I wouldn't want to use, say, 1/2 inch pine as it'd be too thick and add unnecessary weight.

You could try a laminate, like Formica, or Egger Zoom.

These are probably not going to look quite as good as real veneer, but will last longer, clean up easier, be easier to cut and install.

You can get MDF sheets with veneer already applied. How are you forming the walls?

It's a Bedford TK. I'll look into egger stuff now! ^__^

How about the tongue and groove paneling that used to be popular for walls and ceilings etc? It's cheap and quite thin and light.

there was an article in one of the kit car mags about a company that makes wood veneer sheets; prints them onto some sort of paper or plastic.

it is very realistic.

apparently mercedes and rools royce (or similar top-end car) manufacturer use it as the result is more consitent and easier to match, no doubt cheapr then the real stuff too.

can't remember what the name is though.
