Briefly looked into accessing some Panzerholtz and ran into
the same issues as the OP specifically distribution and machining.
Ended up going with some Bamboo laminated sheet material
a friend uses in his manufacturing facility and price was
right shall we say.
Not in quite in the same league as PH but this stuff is also abrasive to cutters and very dense due to the many laminated layers.
At one point I made the regrettable decision to run an edge on the jointer
and it became immediately obvious just where the layers were laminated as it left matching groves in my new blades there after only very good carbide and replace when dulled.
