Subject: 3/4 in" lumber at 12" width?

Can anyone recommend a good source of exotic hardwoods that are 
3/4 in" thick and over 10" wide?   I can't find many places that
stock this.  I have been to Constantine's in New York (Bronx), and they
have some, but, trouble is I can't get enough of it.  I tried Woodcraft
and they said they can't even order it...Does anyone know of a source?
I especially need Bubinga, and Padauk, but I would also like
Yellowheart, and Zebrawood.

    One more question, about biscuits...Do I need to use biscuits with
the Polyurethane glue? on my humidors?  They should not be getting much
moisture, I put a finish on the inside corner.  I just glued two of
them without the biscuits and I'm going to see if they have any
trouble.  I can't see these things coming apart.  This glue is very
serious  (It's Excel).

    I'm sure somebody will know these answers, Thanks very much for
trying....I will e-mail anyone who responds...
                            Wally

Is anyone really surprised? Have you considered gluing-up the boards?
Yeah, it's a bit of a pain, but woodworkers have been this for a fair
number of decades and it's really not that hard.

Wide boards of tropical hardwoods are going to cost $$$$, too.
