Do any of the sponsors sell the exact cork blocks Andy Dear used to sell?

I haven't seen the solid burl blocks in some time. The ones I have seen aren't the same material AND they are laminated blocks. IF you are willing to work with them, Karen @ Bingham has a bunch of the original burl strips available AND at a very competitive price.

The one's I have tried since Andy's became unavailable have all been of a much lesser quality with the lamination lines sticking out like a sore thumb. I'll look into the strips at Bingham Ent.

I've tried Binghams and was told they weren't available. I'll check Fishsticks.
