Cork & EVA supply?

I've thought of making some grips for my next rod but can't seem to source out all the cool colors of cork and eva that everyone seems to find. Where are some good sources? also all of the thin sheet material and what looks like pieces of ivory etc.

Thanks
Adam

There is a host of sponsors to the left that carry every item you ask about.

Some of the more exotic acrylic pieces can be source from knife or woodworking supply houses, although many of the component supply sponsors now carry some of that type material.

Mudhole, GetBit, Janns are just some of those who carry the EVA blocks in all the colors.

Adam,

I really like the premium burl cork, from Custom Fly Grips. I purchased a bunch from them a little while back, and the colors are great.

In searching online I see that places like Hobbylobby and the like sell eva sheet material. Is it of a different density then the eva used for grip making or am I missing something?
