Sounds like an intresting project.

I often get 12/4 Mahogany in widths up to 16" and 12 foot lengths that
I use for tables. Try your local hardwood dealer, if they don't have
what you want on hand, they should be able to special order it for you.

Also, just a thought, since you're just doing a prototype why not just
glue up some boards to get the width you need?

this point I could care less that the first few be genuine "tonewood" (Spruce, Maple). I just
want to find some wood to experiment....and make some sawdust! Dimensions are TWO pieces that are
50" x 14-1/2" x 3" and then tapering down to 1/2". These are glued together to form the
front...and pretty much the same goes for the back.
