Ask around the specialty shops for wood. Around here we have one called
Tools & Space, they specialize in woodworking oddities.
If you have trouble finding a roll of veneer, it's quite easy to patchwork
the dash. I used a total of 5 pieces of veneer on my dash; 2 big pieces
over the gauges and the glovebox, and small fillers on the edges and the
middle. The advantage- the 2 sides are book-matched. The disadvantage-
you need to have fairly big pieces. 12" may be pushing it; I was able to
put the "seams" behind some stuff (so that there's only about 1/2" of seam
exposed).
