I'm looking for holly binding, or holly that I can cut to size myself. I've checked around a bit and have come up empty so far. Anyone have any extra that you'd be willing to sell, or a lead on where I might look next?

Thanks,

Keep checking ebay for "holly lumber". Tough to find in that kind of length,

I'm pretty sure I've got a TON of it. How much you want?

Thanks for the replies, fellas. I'll add those suppliers to my index.

Paul - I definitely need less than a ton, so maybe we can work something out. :-) I'm a slow builder, so enough material for a few guitars (a couple dozen strips of binding, a few end grafts, heel caps, etc.) would probably last me a lifetime.

Thanks again,
