need damascus for bolsters

[Knifemaker87]

hey everybody
i am trying to get some damascus for bolsters. i dont need anything blade size or quality, just something pretty. i was going to do a carved hidden pin damascus bolster. kinda a departure in style for me..but hey.. i wanted to try it.
any idea where i could get some smallish (matching pattern) peices?
i already checked out ebay.. but it is kinda expensive.
thanks so very much

Check out www.texasknife.com. They got matching stock on some damascus bolster material as well as mokume. I can't access the site here at work, so not sure about their pricing.
