   Thick,like a 1/4" or so? I think you make them. Resaw, plane and either scrape or drum sand. By hand a big job,by machine pretty easy.
   You could look at wood for luthiers like from Luthiers Merchantile but the prices might disappoint you. The quality will be pretty high though.. Guitars are basically thick veneer. If your not set up to produce thin stock from thicker stock that's what mill shops do and if you bring your own wood often they don't take ALL your money.

   That's a pretty creative use for seriously flawed boards! It looks like pallet wood. The cheapest way to get there at any volume is to buy a bandsaw and cut it yourself. Any lumber or veneer you buy won't have what I'm sure the ad copy calls character. They didn't even bother to get rid of the sawmarks.

   I don't know if there is any real standardized terminology but what you're looking for is typically referred to as micro lumber NOT veneer.
   Anything between about 1/4" down to 1/16 seems to fit, with some overlap with "thick veneer".
   I also agree, with cutting your own for many, many, reasons. Size, price species,...

   I recently made 1/8” veneer by resawing 5/4 red oak. My Dewalt planer took it down to 1/8” without having to use a spacer board underneath. That should work for the application presented by your photos.

   I have a bunch of stuff that looks like that. I picked up a stack of French oak wine barrel tank wood. The outer layer is highly distressed so I end up with a bunch of " thick" veneer hunting the better wood. Below the outer layer is usable distressed wood with wine staining running through it. Done some nice stuff with it but the work just finding and matching up pieces is time consuming. The " veneer" I keep ,mostly because I keep everything. I finally just the other day cleaned up the whole stack to see what I have and to get it into phase two storage. I went looking on line to see if I could come up with more and found a place selling French oak that just so happened to be near me. I went there and found an entire warehouse full of ancient oak timbers and stacked boards imported from France, many in distressed condition. One guy in there never left his seat and just shouted out" $12 a board foot!" They apparently have a larger warehouse in LA!

   Ebay would be worth checking.
