This listing is for a fantastic sheet of Paua Abalone Veneer: Look at the colors in the photo: so vibrant.
This is gorgeous paua. I only have a limited amount of this quality material. The color of this Paua is eyepopping. Much darker than green abalone. The flat sheet is approx 140mm x 77mm or 5 1/2 x 3 inches and is .006\" of an inch thick - this can be cut with scissors or a knife etc... about the thickness of card stock.
This is great for inlay, much cheaper than buying solid material - You can glue the veneer onto a thicker plastic backing to give the correct depth. Great for cutting intricate shapes for headstock inlays etc... The use of this material is only limited by your imagination!
OR OVERLAY AND COAT OVER THIS MATERIAL!!!
Great price for this hard to find material.
I can ship these with other items. Shipping is based on weight, please wait until I send an invoice for multiple purchases.
I pack them carefully and ship by Air mail or First Class.
