bridge pins and stuff anymore?
I have been trying to contact John Mickelson but the service says his number is no longer in service. Maybe it's just technical?
I saw him at NAMM so I know he is still out there making products. Does anyone have new contact info for John?
I was told he moved recently out of AK.

Thanks.

Craig ... David Warther usually has a good supply of raw material as well as finished pins and other parts. I'm away from my shop at the moment , but will post his contact info when I get there in the morning.

I appreciate the help. It seems like John is selling mainly through LMI.
I'll check that out more.

Craig I don't know if your interested or not but I have some raw FWI I got from John last year. I believe I have three pieces left They are about 4" long and about 5/8" wide x 1/2" deep. Now again this is raw bone. Let me know if you want some or all of it. I know John is getting about $260 a LB for the raw bone This would be near 1/4 lb maybe a bit more but I would make you deal on it.
