When I built some tambour door appliance garages a couple of years ago
all internet roads led back to Rockler for just about everything.

If you want to buy ready made, IIRC, 50" widths were readily available.

For sure ready made is the way to go here. All kinds of woods,
shapes...and lower cost than what you'd expect.
I have made canvas backed tambours... it's not that easy. The strips
like to stick to each other when gluing up the panels... a little wax
on the sides of the strips helps that.
