I've been thinking about this for a while, and wondered if anyone would be interested in starting up a list of materials suppliers for us customizers and makers. Just a listing maybe of reputable folks we've dealt with for getting supplies (wood, horn, bone, etc). I don't really think any of my sources, thus far would classify as "secret" and frankly some of them are just obvious, but I'd like to share anyways. maybe just a link/description/contact info and a bit of a blurb about what we've experienced thus far?
What do the powers that be think? would this end up to much like an advertising thread? I've got no personal stake in any of my sources, but I can see how a list like this could be mis-used if a vendor started advertising themselves.
if something is amiss, we'll handle it then.
. Here is a reason why from a recent email I sent regarding .040 410 Stainless Steel Sheet Stock. 
That's my focus and I hope others feel the same. I recently had an order from Alpha Knife Supply take MUCH longer than it should have. I just got it yesterday, but I won't say how long it took - I think Chuck may be embarrassed - but occassionaly something will happen. They still have my business and recommendation - it's out of the ordinary for them and also true of most vendors that want our business.
