In the past I have bought these from Jim at CWS. However, he no longer stocks them. They were good quality. Does anyone know where I might be able to source a similiar size and quality?

you may wish to look at Packards Tools in the USA.
I know they stock a wide range of prices and depending on exchange rate S&H etc could be no more expensive than
locally sourced items.

Hi Gary,
Try Pop's Shed here in Vic.
I don't have any other info.

He has a website on the Forums.

Have had no success in sourcing these within Australia, and was wondering has anyone had any dealings with this US Company?

I get their catalog, but as there are a couple of other suppliers in town I buy very little from them. The catalog is a wonderful resource with color photos and prices. Pricing would not help you much in AU.

I am seeking about 20 mirrors. I intend to inset them in burl so I am after good quality beveled ones if you have them. I appreciate your offer. IF they are the quality I am wanting let me know by PM how many you have and cost plus postage please.

THanks.
