Where are folks buying their stock? I’m also interested in alternatives, like maybe camel?

Thanks, M

These guys from India are reputable, a lot of people get their blanks from them. I heard about them from an Instagram post by Doug Proper (IIRC), bought some things from them, and had a good experience.

For smaller orders, I use Philadelphia Luthier Supply.

I've bought bone nut blanks through Temu. The offerings vary by the hour. Tonight I've seen ten buffalo bone nut blanks for ten bucks plus three bucks for shipping.

Thanks David,

I appreciate the recommendation. I've got a big pile of nut and saddle blanks on the way from SFIS.

Cheers, M

Yeah thanks for confirming them. They message me like crazy on Instagram so I kind of took it as scammy. I’ll try them out.

Yup, they are pretty persistent!

It's a little spooky sending $500+ to another part of the world.
