Best place to buy mounts online?

Hello all,
I am looking for the best place online to buy orchid mounts.
Right now I'm looking at Cork Slab and Grapewood but I'm open to other ideas as well.
Thanks in advance

There is a place in California, but right now I can't remember the name. Those are costly to ship because of the weight.

A good place to try is pet stores. I use hardwood from my yard.

orchidfriend, like trinigirl I check out the pet stores, they may be a little higher priced, but then you don't have to pay shipping.

craft stores are also a good place to check as well. And actually this morning I was at Walmart, went into the craft section to see if they had bamboo hoops for my Hoyas - they didn't - but they had clearance on cholla wood, 5 - 6inch pieces for $7.00.

Oh I had the wrong idea. i thought you meant mounted orchids.

ditto on the pet stores, they usualy have cork bark and grape wood. Local orchid societies usualy sell stuff and sometimes they have cork bark and tree fern, besides they are a great way to get involved in orchids.

I just bought a bunch of grape wood on line from a reptile/pet store. It was Pet Solutions but there are plenty others. Even with shipping it was reasonable. Much cheaper than buying from e-bay or other orchid sites.
