Cheapest place to get bendable wood veneer?

I'm going to be covering up my ugly sonosub and would like some recommendations as to how to cover it up. I'm thinking some wood veneer to wrap around it and I'll be good to go.
 
Darn... I think I got some from the Depot but that was years ago. If you apply it correctly and are carefull with how you line up the grain it'll look great (stainable too). Lasted for years.

HD was unbelievably expensive when it came to veneer. It was $30 for 8 square feet! :shocked:
 
What's a sonosub? Is that a subwoofer mounted in a sonotube? About 20 years ago I made a whole speaker system out of various sized 1/2 diameter and full diameter sonotubes. Tops and bottoms were 3/4" finish grade plywood with veneer edging. The sonotubes themselves were covered in a heavy, but not too fuzzy, felt material. The grills were wood framed 1x1 oak surveyors stakes covered in acoustically transparent cloth.

Yes. Currently the tube itself is black and needs some love to look decent.
 
Do you have a WoodCraft store near you? These are pretty cheap, but I don't think they are full flexible. I never scoped out their veneers when I was in there. But even if these aren't 100% flexible you could always steam them and they will bend easily.
