Wanted: Nicely figured veneer.

The Optimus Prime amp wets my panties every time I play it so I want to give it a deserving classier look. Thinking of Flame Maple or other nicely figured timber veneer.
It would need to be 540 x 200 in size.
I know it's not something folks have lying around. I'm keeping an eye on Tardme but if you have any ideas where to look, I'm all ears.

Think I'm going to miss Tronfest. Getting nervous about all the work I still need to do for my stand in gigs.

The Face is a closed book to me. Lost the will to live before figuring out how to use it without parading my whole life before the World.

Slowy, please for the love of all things tasteful, don't put figured wood on that amp. You're better than that.

Ply and grill cloth or tolex would be my pick. Maybe an old car badge for good measure
