Got in a couple of sheets of Spanish cedar Veneer. Smelled like a huge cigar box when I opened it. Gonna start converting one of my wet bar cabinets into a humidor. will post pics.

Ordered it from Rockler.com 2 sheets 26.49 each. 24"x48". about as thick as 15 sheets of copy paper. plenty flexible but not flimsy. the odor has got my cave smelling good. I will laminate it to particle board with contact cement. couple weeks of drying should get rid of the solvents in the cement.

very nice brother! I am actually on my way to Rockler today to pick up some cedar for my wine fridge conversion. I was going to go with the 1/4 inch sheets verses the veneer.

I would not use contact cement if I had a choice. It does not hold up well in a humid environment. What is your substrate material?

I picked up a 3/4" x 8" x 7' board there to make shelves for my wine fridge. Turned out pretty good for my first attempt at wood working. I might have to get some of the veneer to line the walls with. Seems cheap enough.

10 mil veneer seems plenty thick to line walls with. easy to work with too.

The veneer definately wouldnt work for the shelves. I am going to order some 1/4" spanish cedar for shelves too. I completely forgot about the shelves. Shelves (sorry, ocd. have to have even # of the word shelves. (damn it) shelves. (there, now its even.)
