I am in the process of starting a rather large cherry linen press. The upper case will have two raised panel doors with the panels being about 20" wide each. I would love to make each of these out of bookmatched cherry. Does anyone know where I can find some 10/4 cherry at least 10" wide and no shorter than 5'. I also want it dry (8-10% moisture content). I prefer 10/4 over 8/4 as it gives me more wood to dress perfectly square and flat before resawing to get the bookmatched pieces.
Any help or directions to a source would be really appreciated.
