exoticwoods dot com seems to have them, but on their site I can only find it under the mix & match section.. but you can also email them if they have seperate Rosewood tops

IIRC, my slab was from Ebay, and I bookmatched it myself. Have a band saw?

you might want to call the folks at gilmer woods if you don't see what you want on the website (which is a great woodporn site)

Hund - since you are in Buffalo you are an easy day trip away from West Penn Hardwoods in Olean NY. It is 3 warehouses of hardwood heaven - but if you want to come away with only one bookmatched top, then leave your credit cards at home and bring cash!

Hand select a plank long & wide enough that knocks your socks off, and they have a millwork shop where they can resaw and thickness it for you.
