Wow. Priced teak lately ?

(My mistake. The teak veneer at Certainly Wood is 1/18" not 1/8" but that is still almost 1.5mm.) If the table is ten square feet then you would be in good shape with about twelve square feet of veneer. That's about $75. Ten square feet of 1/16" walnut for the back can be had for about $20. And the plywood would only be a third of a sheet. If you can salvage the trim from the old table the total cost of a new table could be not much over $100.
Another thought ..... I think you said the table is already veneer by which I assume you mean plywood. If that's the case then you could just re-veneer it with the 1/18" stuff and have a virtually new piece. If it was teak plywood originally the surface veneer would have been more like 1/64" or at best 1/32". The re-veneer would be much thicker.
What I am suggesting from Certainly Wood is raw veneer. You don't buy it by the sheet.

The veneer throughout the boat is 1/8 teak veneer on ply, but a major part of the interior and all the exterior is solid Burmese teak. I think I am just going to bite the bullet and buy the lumber. The woodwork on the boat is very stylized in that there is a specific style of joinery used throughout the boat and I have made all the upgrades using the same. This table is something we have wanted to rebuild for some time. We will be making a couple of design changes. This table has taken quite a beating over the years at sea. At one point it was ripped off its pedestal in a storm got pretty beat up. I had to scarf in some patches to the fiddles which was accomplished in the middle of nowhere using teak scraps I scrounged and with hand tools.
