Off Topic - Wood Inlay Source

[Tom Militano]

I used to do a lot of hand checkering and inlay work on gunstocks a long time ago, before I drifted over to knifemaking. I used to buy precut inlays from Brownells, but they quit carrying them years ago. I'm restocking an old Winchester Model 255 .22 mag. lever action I've had for years and was wanting to do some inlay work on it, but didn't want to cut them out myself. Does anyone have a source for them? Thanks.

All of those are a little to thin for what I'm doing. I need them about 1/4", but I appreciate the help.
