I need a 16" wide piece of cherry for a slant secretary desk. Any recommendation for a supplier?

I would contact Groff & Groff Lumber in PA. I have had great success with specialty cherry. Groffslumber.com
If you were closer I have 19" wide dead clear and some figured on the rack.20190609_165708.jpg
Irion is another one that sorta prides themselves in wide cherry

Hearne Hardwoods, Oxford PA
Im sensing a theme, PA is the greatest of all states for woodworkers.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
I did not bring a truck, but used my Volvo for a 20 inch 12 foot mahogany board from Irion. Cracked my front window. Lesson learned. Pics are of one piece top and side from that board.

Been to Hearne and Groff also. The problem is you probably have to spend several hundred to get them to send you something. When building my pieces I wanted to have one wide board up front.

If you just need one piece, and like the figure ( same board ), PM me

Ive bought several hundred board feet of walnut and butternut from Irion, all wide or quarter sawn. Great place!
Irion has 150 BFT minimum for shipping. Don't see that being very economical living in West Washington. I may end up going with veneer.
