Threshold for 2x3 construction.. can't find 3" threshold!

The door entrance from my hallway into my newly tiled bath is on 2x3 construction, not the typical 2x4. Thus the door jambs are obviously shallower than normal door jambs and thus a standard 4" threshold is too big (hangs over 1") Even if I wanted to cover just half, the standard 2" is too big (since it will hang over 1/2" too much and thus be seen from the hall). I really need a 3" or a 1.5" threshold.. neither of which I can find anywhere.

I was quoted about $80 to have someone take a 4", cut it to 3", bevel it, then polish it. I don't want to spend $80.

Any other options here?

Thanks in advance

RG

Wood would work but I failed to mention the wife wants a marble one.

What is Schluter?

Shluter is metal and if the wife wants marble maybe look at some of the laminate trims that look like marble. Or call a countertop shop and see what they can make you(it won't be cheap though).

Call the Daltile warehouse in your neck of the woods and ask what sizes they stock. I can get a 2 1/2" here.
Good luck

Depending on the marble, it may not be that hard to shape.
