Default source for 60" balsa sheet?

I'm working on a project where 60" long balsa sheet would be convenient. I could do scarf joints with shorter sheets, but I'd rather not. Does anyone know of a supplier with sheets longer than 48"? I can resaw, so thicker material would work as well. Thanks in advance.

Remember, that you had better want a lot of sheets. The 60 inch size is not too popular right now. I am having 1-2 month delays in obtaining 48 inch long stock as well. I would expect that you may be looking at a 3-8 month delay.

Of concern to me is that shipping will be rather expensive. UPS will be only domestic place that will accept shipping parcel.

Interesting because last week I placed a small $100 order that included 48 inch balsa sticks and sheets from BalsaUSA and it shipped next business day.
