Where can I get?

I'm after a piece of Ash/Maple/Mahogany/Poplar/Walnut, or alternative strong wood/composite. Approx 40-50mm thick and at least 400mm X 500mm.

Any ideas where I can source this from, or may possible be able to maninate 2 smaller pieces to make the size stated above.

Any and all help appreciated.

    get a piece of ply to size and then veneer it with your chosen wood.
    cheaper/stronger and more readily available.
    Get some gorm.

    unfortunately it's for a guitar so that would not be an option, thanks for the reply though.
