I got some from a guy on Facebook. His name is Luke Mixter. Look him up. Great guy to deal with. I could get his phone number if you want.

I got TIW bridge blanks and FB from Lance.
Maybe he has a few more he may be willing to part with?

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

PM me his phone number please. I have tried emailing him with no response (about 2-3 weeks ago). Thanks.
