Looking for 1/8" solid T&H veneer

I don't think it is considered veneer when it is 1/8th-inch solid but
I can assure you no one manufacturers it. You might find someone to
make it up for you but I'd hate to think what you would pay. If you
need it that badly and nothing else will do you will have to do what I
did (only for a section around my mast step): Mill it yourself if you
have a planer. If not buy whatever you can get, probably 4/4 and have
someone else mill it. You can then edge glue, remembering all the
preparation you need to glue teak (scrubbing with acetone, allowing to
dry) and you might even want to use biscuits as I did though I was
using 3/8ths. You will also need to select yhour glue carefully. I
used West System epoxy though urethane, resourcinol, or even the new
Titebond III might work. Moreover, you will not find decent holly
easy to come by. Most all of the T&H plywood today is made with maple
or other light-colored hardwoods.

About 1/3 down the page, they have 1/2" plywood with 3 mm ( about 1/8" )
thick teak strips without holly but you could insert that your self. Another
alternative ( if you like how it looks) would be solid teak tongue and
groove flooring, pretty easy to install and can be sanded many times in case
of dents or other problems.

Good luck

Actually I found this. 1/4" and 1/16"

4' x 8' x 1/4" Teak & Holly $125.00 per sheet FOB Boston

We do stock a 1/16" Teak & Holly veneer with no backer $125.00 per sheet FOB
Boston, I would suggest laminating this to a 1/16" okoume core.

I am vacuuming onto carbon/honeycomb panel for floorboards.
I am looking to save the weight of the plywood.

Check and make sure that is not a 1/32 teak/holly face on a crossgrain
veneer layer.

I've seen some t&h 1/4" ply where the face veneer was less than 1/32".
I suggest that you get a sample and see how few strokes it takes to sand through
it.

I have a Foley if you need to plane anything down and there is a guy
locally that has a "Timesaver" 48" wide drum/belt sander for panels.
We are both in the Essex Ct area, Scotty
