My first cutting boards the local lumber mill has 18-36” cuts of most of the wood types they carry. It cost a little more to buy it this way but a 9×31x1.25” piece of maple, a matching of cherry and a 6×15x1.25” piece of purpleheart cost me about 30.00 out the door with tax. That let me make 4 8×14 cutting boards that came out nice and fairly affordable. Up side was all 3 pieces were pre-planed and jointed so I just had to cut, plane the cut surfaces and glue.
