I am looking for a really large wood and glass palette for oil painting. I was wondering which online store would be best to buy from. Sorry if this seems too vague :|.
edit.
something that is considerably larger than 14x11.

That's not something you typically find in art shops.
Find a glazier and get him to cut you a big chunk of safety glass, then put middle grey card underneath it.
Great surface for a palette, cleans up easy.
I got mine free because I live in a block of (supposedly identical) flats and I let the glass company into my place to measure replacements for all the other places, when they had slight misfits, I got them all free. Yay.

Thanks, would you say I had to do them same to get a large wooden one?

For a large wooden one, assuming you own some powertools you could make it yourself I'd say. (wood being a whole lot easier to cut than safety glass.)
