Do most prefer to use 3/4 " thick wood for intarsia?

I use 3/8" thick wood .         I buy rough wood that is about 1 1/8" and resaw it to 3/8"

90% of the wood I purchase is 3/4" stock; I'll plane, cut or sand down to the thickness required or use shims to build up if necessary.

Thanks Intarsia for your answer. Most all the wood I get is 3/4 in, but that is what woodworker source sells mostly. I always thought I was going too thick, but your answer helps me know I am on the right track. =)
