My first meet and we will see how this goes. Since I am new around here my focus has been selling on ebay under the woodenspoke name and my ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Pennington-Luthier-Supply Pictures & sizes are available there, I also manufacture an item for one of the two major luthier suppliers, so I have been around have a great track record plus adequate stock of what I am selling here. All these prices are discounted for OLF members, for the duration of this Swap Meet.
Sales are to USA Residents only
Nuts and Saddles In Bone
Sold in lots only at my 100+ price point. From India, it is bleached buffalo not cow bone. Color varies and the bone is rough cut meaning not every piece is perfect dimensionally but within specs. The bone will all be first quality meaning even color throughout. No mix and match, full lots only. All my nuts and saddles are standard catalog sized so I am not going to post sizes, all the saddles are extra long 4 1/2" and are considered over sized in length.
*Fender, Gibson and Martin are only references to the size and I can not guarantee a perfect match on a manufactured Guitar or Bass since not every Martin nut or saddle is the same size or shape; as is other makes and models of instruments. This includes all instruments.*
Fender Nuts @ .60 each = $6.00 per lot of 10
Gibson Nuts @ .80 each = $8.00 per lot of 10
Martin Nuts @ $1.20 each = $12.00 per lot of 10
Standard Saddle @ $1.80 each = $18 per lot of 10
Compensated Saddle @ 2.00 each = $10 per lot of 5
Compensated saddles are extra wide and can be cut up into nuts

Buffalo Horn Nuts Saddles and Large uncut Buffalo Horn Blocks
These are 99% pure black buffalo horn blanks, they are rough cut and not surface polished. One note about buffalo horn it does have grain and moves like wood when cut thin. My saddle blanks and nuts are larger than a standard Martin nut or saddle and seasoned for at least a month. The saddles many not be flat on the top or bottom but are straight across their length of 4 1/2" + or I dont sell them.Sold in lots of 5 pieces.
Blocks I don't normally sell and are sold as is, 2 blocks per lot, since some may have more white in the center than others or even small voids I can make no guarantee so they are sold as-is. Limit of 50 total blocks to sell so 25 lots total. Blocks will not stabilize over time but only after cutting to rough dimension, not like wood in that regard.
I also have a limited amount of saddle blanks which have been seasoned I will limit it to 10 lots of 5, Nuts I have no problem with in quantity.
Buffalo horn Nut @ $2.00 each = $10 per lot of 5
Buffalo Horn saddles @ 3.00 each = $15 per lot of 5 (10 lots maximum)
Buffalo horn block 1" x 2" x 4 1/2" * approx* @ $10.00 each = $20 per lot of 2 (25 lots Max)
One block will make lots of nuts and saddles, a table saw will burn horn so a band saw is recommended
Fretboard File
Similar to Stumac's, meaning it uses the same file type only its Nicholson branded not a foreign manufacturer, file edges front and rear are rounded. The body is cherry and larger than SM's. I have big hands and found a larger more plane like body was easier to control. Great for leveling inlay.
I have a limit of 6 to offer @ $20 each
*This is for fretboard use not for leveling frets*
.
Shipping is $4.00 per lot except for the buffalo horn blocks which are $8.00 per lot.
OK seems high only if you buy one lot, I will discount shipping as I always do, so if you by 5 lots it will not cost $20. Generally the more you buy the lower the shipping per lot.
*Example: Two lots of Gibson nuts would cost $5 First class USPS. Since I don't know how much and what quantity you will buy I cannot calculate a shipping cost until after you make your purchase.
Payment Methods
First and quickest is PayPal, second is a postal money order then personal check (my least favorite method). Everything is guaranteed except the horn blocks which are sold as is no returns. Shipping is non refundable
