I get Paulownia very reasonable prices, about half what you'd pay to get little short sheets of balsa from the hobby suppliers.
Been using it for rails, but I'd love to cut some into 3mm ish (1/8) sheets for the skins as well.
Can get a cabinet making outfit to cut it down, but the cost of that is more than what I paid for the wood!!
I can't see any other decent option to get such thin veneers....

Kit, I have a whole garage full of Paulownia planks, precision milled and sanded to exactly 3mm, they are in lengths of 8 feet or so, most of them have been stained but it sands off very easily, Silly has used some, I'm also using it for decks but you are welcome to some, I am in Putaruru.

There are some pictures of the planks on my Paulownia board project thread.

Regards,

Roy
