Who can do this for me? Can't find anyone local.

Hey folks,

Looking for someone who can mill large areas out on my Reo's door, back and sides.
Something like this:

But more refined of course. This pic is just an idea.
I want it milled out because I want to stick very thin wood in those areas.
I don't want it milled out completely through. Just about 1mm deep and the door about .5mm deep.
I don't know if this is even possible (especially the door).

I will, of course, do a complete paint stripping prior to the milling. It will then be polished, the wood laid in, and then coated. Will use very thin veneered stabilized wood (when I can find some...lol)

Also, where would I go to find someone who can cut stabilized wood very thin, very very thin?

Any ideas/offerings?

Thanks.

Hi

You can prob ask @Genosmate to give it a go.

Also a lot of engineering companies can mill it out, look for a laser engraving company and they should do it easily.

You can buy sheets of vernier wood in various thickness. Normally in strips or pages . There is a company in kempton park that does it. Other option is to take hard wood and pop it into a plainer machine

Like I said. Locally (Vaal Triangle) I haven't been able to find anyone yet who can do that for me. I'm still searching.
Wanna give my lovely Selene a complete makeover, and dress her up nicely.

I think there is an engineering company in Vereeniging . Il have a look around tomorrow to see if they can do it.
