While in Houston on business this week, I found another source for Amsteel if anyone is interested. As far as I can tell, it's regionally the only supplier of the stuff and the guy I talked to had no idea Amsteel was being used for hammock suspension.
The Company is SWOS and it's .25$ a foot for 1/8th which is what I was interested in for my first whoopie projects. They have just about any size one might want and I saw a roll of 7/64th (I think .17$ a foot... could be wrong) while I was there. They can also get Zing-it and they do ship.
If anyone is interested in maybe tapping a new source, contact Tom Hays at SWOS (Southwest Ocean Services) at 713-671-9101 or email [email protected]. He said they're working on an e-commerce site so if they get a few phone orders, it would probably help that along.
Hope this is helpful. I'm making my whoopie slings tonight.
