Wanted - Source for Phenolic Block

I also have a cmm layout of the bottom of a gen3 M90 if you need it. Saves time cutting the pattern

The block I got is 1 inch thick , about 10"x14"(I think) and cast me about $100.
Thecstuff is damned expensive, but it'* what I could find for what I'm doing.
There'* a plastic supply place here in Columbus on 5th Ave, I picked it up from their cast-offs.

I went the same route for some time, then chose to ditch the expensive phenolic and make the prototype, and perhaps the final design, out of aluminum and seperately cool it.
Here'* some possible sources for you:
