Shikari blanks in Texas

The Shikari sight at one time allowed you to buy blanks online. It appears this is no longer true. Where in Texas, I live in Houston, is a good outlet for the Shikari blanks?? Does anyone have feedback on these blanks? Do you like them? How do they perform? I've seen rods at local shows and the look of the blank is one that I like. Thanks to all.

Bingham Ent. to the left is the closest I know to you. I really like the Shikari products. They remind me in many ways of the G Loomis line.

Excellent blanks. They could spoil you. The only problem I have had is the same as yours, finding an outlet.
At one time a custom shop in Florida was suppling me but they can't get them now either.

I will check with Bingham as suggested. Thanks.
