Depo's got one I use, 4' in a yellow caseI think the wood is bamboo strips; still level after 5-6 years.

Back in the day, all the masons I worked with prefered Velander levels which now seem to be the Velander series by Empire.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but these are excellent levels:

Crick used to be the level of choice for masons. Nice level and very accurate.
I saw in another thread here, Crick had been bought by someone else.
I would still recommend them for a brass wrapped, wood level.
not brass but will SS do?
