I second Dano. Murray Gaskins, down in GA, has the best prices on fine materials, at least if you order in small bulk, like 10 or more. But working with Murray is like watching a glacier melt on a cold day. Mike Y. at Pine Hollow also has good materials -- I'm currently building with some very clean hickory backings I ordered from him -- and he ships same-day most of the time.

-no way to beat this price!  $100/25 premium bamboo slats with free shipping.  I got mine fast and he called to make sure I liked it once it was here...a great deal.

Bob Barnes is right on the bamboo from Cali. I ordered 25 slats and the shipping was free. I just used my first slat and it worked great. Just call there telephone number and ask them. I got free shipping. Ask for Erik. Dean
