looking for oak laminate/veneer

scottishkat

hi,
my other half and i have seen a tv cabinet we love in habitat but we cant afford to buy it. it is a pretty simple design and we have decided our diy skills will be sufficient to try making it but we cant find the oak laminate type stuff they use in flat pack furniture (i am also presuming that we wont be able to afford solid oak but if anyone knows differently please speak up!!!)
does anyone know where we can get this?
thanks

It`s probably chipboard with an oak melamine veneer face . Available from B & Q I`d guess or if not then any decent builders or timber merchant will at least be able to source it if they do not have it in stock . Cheapest bet is to buy it in 8`x4` sheets and cut to suit . You`ll also need edging tape for when you cut it to size .
Up here in `sunny` Aberdeenshire it`s readily available .
