East Coast Specialty Hardwoods in Dartmouth usually have a good supply and will ship to where-ever. Good folks to deal with too. They are in the Burnside Industrial Park and a visit to their shop is a must if you are a carver in Atlantic Canada!

YOu can contact Chipping Away and ask. IF he can't supply you in western Canada he may be able to tell you who is out that way.

I don't have a number but will contact the Assoc. Some one may.
Lee Valley Tools has some. But they are expensive.
