I've had great wood and service from Sloan's Woodshop
in Tennessee. Down to 1/8" on the various hardwoods
and down to 1/32" on plywood.

If you're scrolling, take a look at Scroll Saw
Woodworking & Crafts magazine. (formerly Scroll Saw
Workshop) The articles and the ads are worth looking
at.

No financial interest, just a happy customer.

Both Rockler and Woodcraft list wood of various species in varying
thicknesses.

Just last night, David Marks made his own thin wood strips for a veneering
project. He used a band saw and a drum sander. You could substitute a
belt sander for the drum sander.

But, you will need a lot of wood before you would save money by making your
own.
