The below image is what I would like to get for an audio project of mine. What I need is a 3/4" thick piece of Ribbon Mahogany that is 24" long and about 3" high. Anybody have a source?

    I build solid body guitars from time to time. Or at least try to. :p I have bought mahogany, cherry and swamp ash of eBay. Had a look there yet? If you needed some regular cherry or architectural grade mahogany. I could probably hook ya up with some.

    I used to buy my hardwood from Paxtons until their OKC store was sold to Hogan Hardwoods. It was like being in a candy store.
    You may have to have it shipped special order.
