Default ISO Simax rod-west of the rockies!

Hi Boro buddies!

I'm looking for a source for Simax rod, preferably on the West Coast. Minimal, or next to no "cutting charges". I don't need a full case, just a few pounds of 3-5mm sizes. And it would fine it the rods needed to be cut in thirds/halves for shipping- I'd be doing that anyway.

Any one reliable you'd recommend?

Thanks!
Vanessa

Glasscraft/Winship is in Eugene, Or.... might give them a try.

I get all my glass here in the Golden, Colorado location. Wonderful folks to work with.

I would go to Sunray at Trev's glass. She's terrific to deal with! Not saying that glasscraft/winship aren't awesome also, but with Sunray, you feel like you're dealing with family (in a good way).
