I made one cherry neck, it sits on my cherry-bodied guitar. Looks wonderful, enormous PITA to shape. Price was very right, just paid in time. Doing it again. Same price for the wood (zero).

Exotic Wood Zone has free shipping. I just bought 30" x 3" x 1" sapele neck blanks for $20 a piece. They are milled to perfection which is handy.
