Post subject:  good bulk supplier for bone nuts/saddle blanks

I need a good bulk supplier for bone nut/saddle blanks. I know about inlaidartist but they often do not have the right size (a lot of their pieces are a little undersized, works for most guitars but there's always a few where it would be too small). Are there any other suppliers you can suggest? When I buy bulk from inlaidartist I can get the cost per blank down to around 50 cents a piece... but have to buy in bulk (100+ pieces of nut and blanks). The main issue is the height... they sell a lot of 3/8" high nut and saddle blank and I am just afraid of running out of material by just a hair.

Try Chrislin Trading (not sure if the spelling is quite right), they are really helpful for odd sizes.

Yea, have tried that and they for some reason stopped answering my inquiries. I don't know if its because they want me to buy truckloads or something or they just hate Taiwan (remember they are from China)?
