I have been looking, too. Our local LL store quit carrying the solid vertical kind. There doesn't seem to be much on line either. Plenty of strand, or horizontal available though. The places that have it online are pretty high and with shipping I can't justify buying it. I would love for someone to chime in with a reasonable source.

Northwest bamboo, stair riser material in natural or amber - 3/4 x 7.5 x 72" (Chris will cut it to 36" to save shipping)

Just tell him what you are doing with it, he knows what you need cause he sells to a lot of bowyers....

Get the unfinished to save blades.

No grooves in it so you can get 2 healthy pairs of lams out of 3/4" thick.

Hyquiria hardwoods. 12-4x72" (1 box, minimum order) shipped to you for under $150 in natural or amber unfinished. Enough to make 12+ bows. You can get 4-3/16"x1 1/2"x72" out of each piece.  I live in Utah so shipping might be a lot more to the east coast. This saved me a ton of money over ordering the lams and it's really easy to work with.

Thanks, guys. I may give one of them a try. I found a manufacturer that has a dealer here locally. Hopefully I can get them to order some with their next order and save some of the shipping costs. I did find one place in GB that has a case for about $100 including shipping and VAT. It is mixed 3 & 5 foot pieces.

This is one product you don't want to skimp on. The cheap stuff is full of voids so you end up with little usable material.
