    About 10 years ago I got some from a cabinet shop in Campbell.
    You go East on Campbell Av and turn left at the first light on the
    east side of Hwy 17. It was a couple of blocks north, on right side
    that little street. I'll see if I can find the name of the shop in the
    phone book,
