Anyone have a source for these, maybe 10 sets at a time? I would prefer 3 degree but 5 would be fine. The unbleached pins seem to be hard to find. Thanks! |

Steve, I don't know of a place that sells them specifically unbleached. I've always made my own using round blanks from Origindia (camel bone, nice stuff). I've made them for other builders on occasion, sometimes in larger orders, but I cannot come close to matching some of the cheap prices I see online. |

Why not go to the source: http://www.gurianinstruments.com/showca ... -end-pins/ He'll make what you want. There is a minimum order, but you won't have to order pins again for a long time. |

Thanks guys. Burton, I've always found your work to be very impressive but I understand that custom pins are going to be pretty expensive. Bob, I'll contact Gurian. I had only looked at their website and didn't see what I wanted but didn't think about calling them. I suppose if the minimum order is more than I like then I could always sell the extras. |
