Even if you can find 12" walnut, I'd suggest ripping it down to
4" widths, and flipping every other piece and regluing. That
will prevent warping. If anyone needs wood, I live in the middle
of WV, and finding nice hardwood is not difficult. There are
at least a dozen mills nearby, and I can get everything from rough
cut to finished oak, maple, cherry, birch, etc, etc. The other
alternative is to get some nice walnut or cherry veneer, and use
some real nice 13ply birch 5/8" plywood for the cabinet.
