I'd try the Glass Guild.

glassguild.com
3651 19 Street NE
(403)250-6947

I've gotten several pieces of glass there - they have all kinds of glass including Starphire/low-iron and can cut to size for you.

Glass guild is rape. I had a client drop $1500 for some eurobrace. Should have only paid $500ish.

What kinds of sizes are you looking for? I think the Glass Guild does nice work, but they ARE very expensive. Yikes.

I've had some small pieces cut at Chinook Glass and I was pleased.

Geez, I've never spent more than $20 at Glass Guild ... I had no idea. :neutral: Well, sorry for the apparently bad advice ... :( Try some of the other places then ...
