I'm trying to do a project that involves cutting thin (1/8") shapes of cherrywood and applying them to thicker (1/4") cherry wood sheets. Anyone know where you would get stuff like this online? I need sheets maybe 12" x 112" or 12" x 18" etc...

This is a good place and the guy is good to work with.

I highly recommend Colorado Heirloom. Their quality is second to none and their customer service is awesome! If you are looking for the cheapest, don't bother, but if you want the best quality you can find at a fair price, then they are the place to go.

I recommend ThinBoards. I have ordered from 3 different places over the years and ThinBoards was not only the cheapest but the best quality yet. Can't comment on customer service as I never needed to contact them about any issues.

Personally probably would not recommend what your wanting to do. Even though you say you want to use same species given the thicknesses your asking about I could see some potential for warp-age and expansion/contraction problems as well as glue creep without the proper glue. Personally would recommend thicker bottom wood and a thinner top laminate. We have done a great deal of re-sawing in our musical instrument business and have also done a fair amount of veneering/laminating and have experienced problems when using a combination as you propose.

For sheets, you have few options, and Rowmark is one them. Solid-core plywood with thin veneer. Engraving large areas will sometimes make seams very noticable. Cuts fine.
For thin stock, all the above are good choices. George Perzel is another option worth mentioning.
