Sourcing scale material

Been looking for scale materials. Masecraft seems to be lacking the supply they used to have on their site. Perhaps I need to contact them directly. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place to source materials these days?
 
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but I make knives and order scale material from Jantz Supply or Texas Knife Makers.

USA Knifemaker has razor-sized (6" x 1.5" x 1/8") kirinite blanks for $12 or $13/pair, and also has 12" x 12" sheets

Maggards has a few colors of horn blanks in stock, including some really nice looking streaked stuff. Beware that the buffalo ones measured 0.189" thick (almost exactly 3/16") with my calipers rather than the listed 1/8" (0.125) - the horn blanks there that weren't specified as buffalo didn't have this problem. It isn't that big a deal, but is is work to thin them out on the belt sander. Though if you were buying from Masecraft before this is probably a total non-issue for you.
