Looking for 1/8" brass sheet

[fsdogwood]

Hi,
Just finished the Woodsmith block plane, a joy to use. It comes with a
Hock blade, adjustable by tapping...
Now wonder where locally (Raleigh, NC) can I find some 1/8" brass sheet
stock (2 pieces 1/8x3x8 should work)?

Thanks in advance.

Editted 02/10: Thanks for the responses. I am looking for, to be more precise, the 260 brass, 1/8" sheet stock (considering a infill shoulder plane). From what I read on the woodnet forums, the 260 is the one to go, while 360 might be a bit fragile.
It seems that the best I could find is from McMaster, though I would prefer a local store...

Thanks, this Mcmaster-Carr does have a cheaper price, it has unpolished
12"x12"x1/8" for $44.

Look up your local hobby and model shop. They normally carry plenty of brass and other metals in sheet form, small sizes like 10" X 6" or so and the prices are a lot better than a metals dealer.

I've dealt with this place (Speedy Metals) for other small pieces of metal.

Here is a direct link to the 3" brass ($1.31/inch). Buy as much or as little as you need.
