I was wondering if anyone knew of a vendor selling spanish cypress other than LMI who possibly charges less than they do. I know of Octopus in Turkey but it seems like it'd be easier to deal with a vendor in the US

Sorry if no help with US, but the Turkish sellers are hard to beat in bang for your small buck - specially akoustik wood. I bet it'll turn out cheaper than buying your sempervirens in the US. Nice quality too.

I buy from Akustik in Turkey. Price/quality is superior to any other vendor I've tried.

If you are not committed to spanish cypress, alaskan yellow cedar is fairly close and easier to find.

I have a few sets. How much do you need, and what size? I'll never use all I have.
