Hi McMike.

Welcome to the forum.

Most people cut and plane their own 1/8" mahogany. It is a tough process that needs big tools.

Someone just advised us of a place in Buffalo, NY that sells thinner stock.

http://www.advantagelumber.com/thinwood.htm

No-one here has vouched for them yet, but their site seems very credible.

Keep us informed of your build progress!

Hi McMike,
Welcome to the forum. If you were closer, I would supply you with 1/8" stock.

McMike,

If you are really talking about 1/8" ply, try Noah's Marine. They're not that far from you.

Welcome!

Bill
