Where do you guys get your felt for strops?

Tried the stuff from you know where, and it seems a bit too fuzzy and not quite rock hard. Anyone have a place to get some decent hard felt for making a strop? Dave Martell had some killer stuff at his place that he just can't get anymore but it was awesome. Not fuzzy and was rock hard.

I'm a big fan of Lee Valley for anything related to knives and woodworking, they usually carry quality stuff. Canadian company, but low cost shipping to US from what I've been told. I never tried their leather strops though (but I plan to order some in a few weeks, maybe I can give a review then).

Hand strops
Strop pack, you can glue it to whatever you fancy

Ive heard good things about Markos strops but I havent used one myself yet.

Yeah, I'm thinking I may need to invest in one of Marko's felt strops after Christmas. They look amazing.
