Oak-veneered Plywood

[Wabiloo]

Does anyone have any advice as to where I could find plywood (or possibly MDF) that would have one face veneered with oak?
I'm building a sink cabinet in our bedroom. The "external" faces (top and front) will be tiled with travertine. The interior part is open, and I want to cover the inside with oak (to match the rest of the furniture in the bedroom). I don't want to use solid oak however (not really worth it...)

It's a very commonly available product. I guess for local suppliers you'd need to tell us which neck of the woods you are in. I'm about to buy some myself, and know exactly where I'm going, but you might be 500 miles away from me for all I know.

Very good point. I'm in the Cambridge area

Well Ridgeons will get some in for you. They won't stock it, but will certainly supply it.

I recently got some oak veneered ply from Arnold Laver, looks like they have a branch in Hertfordshire which I think is nearish you. It's the first time I have used oak veneered ply (1 side) and was surprised how thin the veneer was, it seems a thicker veneer on MDF which is what I normally use.

I would absolutely, avoid any MDF in a wet area unless its tricoya, Its always where you edge the boards that the moisture gets in and it swells up etc plus the mould thing...its just total crap and not fit for the purpose.
These guys also do a nice range of veneers so perhaps do the build in ply and veneer over.
