I am looking for a source for streamline strut material. It should be 3/4 X 1/4 (or close). The struts will be functional so balsa is probably out of the question. I prefer a hardwood but aluminum would be an acceptable alternative. I need four 26" pieces.

Thanks!

I also have several pieces of wood - same shape.
