I'm looking for a bunch of small snakewood scraps. Minimum size .040" x 1.5" x 4.5".

Will buy or trade.

Also looking for some snakewood binding.

Thanks.

Can't help you out Kent, but I'm also looking for snakewood binding.

Regarding the scraps, I purchased a bunch of bridge blanks from Bob Cefalu at RC Tonewoods. They weren't too expensive. I'd check with him if I were you.

Thanks all.

Kris, 6 weeks is fine. Let me know and we can work out the details.

I know it's available but given the size I need, it just seems a waste to mill it instead of using someone else's leftovers. It's not like this stuff grows on trees....

Here's what I'm looking for.

I have some scraps that might work for rosettes. I will double check the dimensions and give you a call tomorrow.
