High Quality Carbon Fiber sheet

I have purchased some nice quality carbon fiber from Masecraft Supply in the past.
Time to re-order and I was wondering if anyone might have a recomendation on a dealer who sells attractive, high quality carbon fiber that finisheds and fits nicely on folders. I had samples sent to me by one firm, which easily broke in two pieces and revealed tiny strips of wood laminated in the middle.
Glad I received samples before purchasing, as it was really junk! I have been reading that there is a lot of fake stuff on the market now.
I have been surfing the net and it seems that there is a shortage at this time of carbon fiber to purchase.
The Masecraft CF is very good, but I thought I might get some other opinions also.
Thanks,
Jon

Racing Jeff is good. Alpha Knife Supply has some.

Nitrile gloves at a minimum for the hands. Something to keep it off your skin elsewhere.
The dust is a killer.
Eye protection from the dust, and a respirator.
If you're getting itchy, you're getting fibers stuck in your skin. Not good.
