   Hi 10saw ,

                   The species you are looking for , to my knowledge are simply not commonly available in 1/2" , not to say they are not made , but so little demand for 1/2" would certainly limit production with the exception of having them custom laid up for you .

           The larger thought I would ask you is why use 1/2" panels for frame and panel doors ?

           If your talking about cabinet doors most recessed panel cabinet doors are made with 1/4" or even 5.2mm panels in which the species you want are readily available in .

                   good  luck          dusty

      10saw,

            Not sure where your looking but , any hardwood suppliers , places cabinet shops buy from , maybe not always found at the big box .

           typically what I use for recessed panels will be the same species but perhaps not Rift sawn or Plain sliced on both sides but , still the same specie but a different grain and pattern .One side will be face and may look more uniform . When the job is done the insides of the doors will be fine .
