Check for Hardwood suppliers in your area. I am able to buy All North American hardwoods & exotic hardwoods locally within about 40 minute drive from Winston Salem NC. I actually don't buy much off the internet but the internet has a lot of wood suppliers for Intarsia

I use basswood, aspen or the white wood from aromatic Cedar. If you can't find that look for a Glaze from General Finish called "winter white"

My wood stock is primarily 1" thick which is what I like. 1" gives me more options when it comes to creating depth in the piece.
See the Harvest Moon that I just posted. everything started at 1" except for the Moon which was 3/8", I added a 1/4 shims to several areas to add more depth.
If you are just starting out I recommend 3/4" because you can find that fairly easy
