Where can I get wood strap buttons? I've been looking around and cannot seem to find any. I know they are out there!

Stew Mac has Ebony, Snakewood, Bone & Ivoroid strap buttons. I just installed one last week. Real nice. They also sell a screw contraption with a hex head to "thread" the hole for easier installation. It is hard to screw the button in without soem sort of "tap"

Ditto on stewmac.com They have wood and toned metal buttons. Nearly instant turnaround on the shipping too.

Brad I have them as well but they are just ebony and are friction fit. Drill the hole and tap them in.

Thanks, guys. I think LMI has discontinued the Mickelson products, and I had forgot that SM sold them. Couldn't see the forest for the trees! I was looking for the screw in ones, maybe ebony or snakewood.
