Hello All, I’m not sure if this is proper place to post this, but seemed to be a lot of information on this board, maybe someone can help. I am in need of cherry veneer “beadboard” for a kitchen restoration project. It will be used as wainscoating. I have searched the internet in vain without results. Anyone have any leads? … I know it is made, or was, as I have a small (6×6) inch sample. Don’t know from whom or where. Any ideas? If it came in 4×8 sheets I would need about six sheets. Thanks in advance…….JW | ||

Perhaps you will find it, but it seem pretty unusual to have veneer molded to form bead board profile. At any event, I haven't seen any.
Personally, I have never liked sheet goods for bead board wainscoating. The solid wood has a lot more character, especially since it is reproducing a period design. And, since wainscoting is by design likely to take some knocks, veneer seems pretty vulnerable. Perhaps beadboard used as ceiling would be better for veneer.
You may find what you are looking for at a good kitchen cabinet distributor, not a big box. Many kitchen manufacturers have moldings and other accessory items that you can't find elsewhere. I've had some success ordering the parts unfinished. A couple of years ago, I bought some solid wood, cherry beadboard from a kitchen distributor that carried "Cabico Cuisine" cabinets. I think they are a Canadian manufacturer.
This company makes wainscot systems, I don't know if cherry is available in the beadboard.
