Buying thin cherry or pine. (post #178508)

Hi, want to make one or two classic 'Shaker-style' lap desks as gifts. I don't have a planer and really don't want to buy one. Can someone-anyone point me to source for ⅛"; ⅜"; ½" cherry or pine boards? I thought this would be the easy part but I have spent literally hours on the Internet looking for a source. Is there a reason this is so hard to find? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Bill B. (From NYC, if that makes a difference.)

Bill, recommend both (1) Ocooch Hardwoods for cherry, and (2) Thinboards at Etsy.com for pine.  Big box stores dropped the pine and now carry only oak and poplar.  Yuk!

I've bought 3/8" cherry from these guys before and been very pleased:

dndhardwoodsonline.com

They provide anywhere from 1/16" to 1.5"
