I have a few chubby authors to make and they require a 1" wide stem. The guy that I am making them for has requested colored acrylic, and I am having a heck of a time finding any acrylic that wide that is in stock from my normal places.
Anyone have a source? I'd need maybe 6" of a white with black swirl, 6" of a black with white swirl, and 6" of another color.
I realize I can go to ebonite to get the width I need, but the client is very against it for cost reasons.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. He wants them to be saddle stems as well, so that rules out putting a wider hardwood stem inlay on and tapering it back from there.

He has 1" wide acrylic? Not according to his website.

I'd suggest sending Steve a message. I do think he has some 1" diameter stock. Otherwise, I'd be surprised if places like Delvie's plastics don't have it.

He definitely does. I bought a bundle of 1" rods in Chicago from his pop-up store.
