: Soon I'll be working on laminating a coming lip on my already
: existing coming riser. Is there a standard height (distance
: between top of deck and bottom of lip), and width (distance from
: outside of coming riser to outside of lip) to keep a spray skirt
: on well? Also; where do most get their wood for this? I've been
: searching for Ash Veneer, but it's all too thin, and often has
: paper on one side, etc. Is there someplace that sells like 1/8
: inch ash veneer, or should I just plan on sawing my own?

: Thanks,
: Todd
Hi Todd,

Try this for veneer. They ship small amounts anywhere. I have used them for several times for 1/16" veneer that I use for coaming riser and lip laminations. The picture is half of the riser formed and the other half still on the mold.
