Hi all. A customer would like to have a snakewood bridge and I don't know where I can find a bridge blank. LMII no longer carries it. I can get Snakewood logs for about 400$ but it's little bit more than I need.  So does anyone know where I could get a snakewood bridge blank? Thanks! |

http://www.gilmerwood.com/ usually carries Snakewood bridge blanks for around $25-$35. They have a $100 minimum order policy though. Christian |

ebay sometimes has knife scales large enough to fit the bill. |

If you can't find one, I've got a log I found for 80 bucks. Be happy to carve ya off a chunk. |

Thanks a lot for all your replies! I just sent a PM to Bob, I'll wait for his answer. Haans, thank you very much for you offer, I might accept it if Bob can't help me. Thanks again! |

No it's for a dreadnought. I'm sure I can manage to make a bridge with a weight within my standards. I usually make then with honduran rosewood, which is not exactly a light weight wood... |
