Does anyone know where to get wide (more than 1/8") unbleached saddle blanks?

Chislin Trading should be able to custom cut stuff.

I get mine at the local pet super store. These are cleaned, but I don't think they are bleached. I buy the larger size dog bones (these are cow bones that come from Brazil) and cut them up into rough blanks using a vice and a sharp pull-saw.

I'm sure there are much better ways to do it, but we all work with what we have.
