Searching for acrylic stripes

[avbill]

In Woodturning Design, an article on segmenting pen talked about Pick guards they are 3/4 x 20" long acrylic strips. Used to accent pens. The supplier has not answered by email, So I'm now searching another supplier. Can anyone help direct me to a supplier for the acrylic strips. thank you Bill Daniels [8D]

Search the Classifieds. I know one of our members has sold them in the past and was going to offer them again. I bought some and they are very nice.

If you can't find it here, the other place that I know you can get them (but the member here was cheaper) is CSUSA.

CSUSA requires you to buy an assortment and may or may not have colors that you like.

Joe Collazo at Turncrafts sells 1" x 6" acrylic strips in several different colors for this purpose. Here's a link to the page on his site where you can find them: http://www.turncrafts.com./plastics.html. Scroll down near the bottom. If you decide you want one of each color, pay close attention and do not order the sample pack. Joe's math is off. It'll save you a quarter to order them separately. Also note that he has the blue (ACYBL1) listed twice.

I've been getting mine from Grizzly, but they don't have as large a selection to choose from as our local vendor.

I bought some the last time Lyle Walden (lwalden) ran a group buy. You can also get it from a luthier supply house. Stewart-MacDonald (http://www.stewmac.com) is one I've ordered from in the past.

I got some free from the local guitar store and repair shop. They had some old pick guard off of guitars they'd repaired. You'd have to cut them to suit your needs but you can't beat the price. They were just going to throw them away.
