I'm in need of a huge mat board. The piece to be framed is actually 52" x 70" and I need the mat to be slightly wider and longer (assume 1 or 2 inch widths).

Word has it that in the past "True Vue" made "Monster Mats" of which a few are still around. Would appreciate a lead on where I might be able to acquire a cream color or even a Black one in order to save me some time and a probable headache splicing two boards together.

Thanks

mats in that size are generally white, white, or white 4 ply rag only.

As a design comment, a 1" to 2" mat seems almost not worth the effort of cutting the mat. A 4", or there abouts, mat makes more sense
 
Yoou could always splice together some strips cut out of 40x60. Maybe come up with a design that uses two colors in a pattern (such as dark corners, and lighter middles, with an angle cut at the change)
so that the splices don't have to be hidden.

I HATE cutting mats that are bigger than my cutter.
(I can do it, but it's a pain)
