Dyed Green Veneer
I'm excited because I found a green veneer that I really like and I thought I would share this news with you. Most of the green veneer that I've found is a rather dull color but this is bright and vibrant. They're selling it by the "leaf" which is approximately 11" by 8 - 9 feet long and currently $3.50/square foot. Cheers. https://certainlywood.com/product/dyed-green-25042/

That is a nice green. Some of the others do look a little muddy and 1970’s avocado ;)
I never could find a vibrant green veneer I liked so I used some nice high rag content card stock from an art store that was colorfast. I used it on perfling with AYC ribs and WRC top and the contrasts was nice, the bright green and the yellow of the cedar.
Thanx for sharing.

I like green, especially with rosewood, although it works well with most woods. I wonder if the supplier would cut the pieces into shippable lengths, probably worth asking.

I called and ordered two leaves. Since they're up to 9 feet long, I assume they loosely roll them up and put them in a box (probably a 12" cube). That's how I've received long veneers in the past. The UPS shipping is $32.11, NY to WA.
The avocado green looks great as your purfling on rosewood. I need the vibrant green for eye-popping rosettes.
