I'm beginning work on building a set of these myself. I'm having a hard time finding 2" thick live edge. Though I'm headed out to meet a guy this afternoon to find a walnut live edge slab that fits the bill. If I can't find something close, how much of a difference would it be if I went with a double layer MDF with straight edges instead?
1.5” thick is good enough.
MDF with straight edges will work fine acoustically, but aesthetically it would be a shame to settle for MDF.
There are lots of places that sell (and ship) live edge wood.

I agree, if you've got any sources you can suggest I'd be super appreciative. I'd rather not go the MDF route if I can avoid it.
I visited Schroeder Hardwoods today, and they have great inventory and good pricing. Definitely one of the good ones in this area. Picked out a couple walnut slabs (bookmatched), and I have all the parts on hand now. Hope to have some actual progress to share soon.
