I’m looking for 1/8″ thickness oak to make some cubby holes for a roll top desk. Anyone have a good source for “thin” wood?

Rockler has it. I'm not recommending them, it's just the first place I found.

I used to get catalogs from at least one other company, probably Woodcraft, but I can't find a recent catalog to check. I Googled for "thin lumber" and got 460 hits.
Can you resaw it?

If you can't do it yourself then find a local woodworker that can resaw and plane it for you. I would imagint the price would be much more reasonable than rockler or another mailorder place would charge.
