I bought some of this laser cut, kerfed lining a few years ago and did not use any of it until yesterday. I like it, but I can't remember who I bought it from.

Edit. Thanks for the info. I changed the heading.

Looks like the Kevin Ryan lining? I don’t know where you can get it unfortunately.

Thanks,
I found it. Advanced Shell Technology website.

It's a good thing that folks know where to buy it, and it does look a real handy time saver (i.e., flexing in 3 dimensions instead of 2), but I have to admit raising an eyebrow at the price. It comes out to $3.62 per inch. To each their own.

I think the price is for a "set of 16, 7.25" segments, which is enough to do a dread.

I stand corrected! Sorry, I saw the unit price and the length of each segment, but not the number of segments included. It’s actually a pretty good deal.

I use it. It’s fast and it looks good. There are cheaper options but it’s worth it to me. I just ordered more.

I have several sets of the A4 too, have yet to use them. I understand he has an A5 version now, I hope mine aren't obsolete yet

I told them I was trying to match some of the older A4 and when I ordered a few sets they sent me a bunch of extra.

How is A5 different from A4? I'm pretty sure that what I have must be the A4.

The new one is a lighter color wood, more flexible (do not need the extra cutaway version), looks like the kerfs were cut with a blade rather than a laser and sadly, about 25% thicker (I'm big on soundboard real estate).
