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. =)
