Hello all,

First off, this site is the best I've ever used to research for info & inspiration regarding rod building. I've only been rod building for several months & I just finished my third one - I guess you could say I caught THE bug:) I think I am ready for the next level. I am thinking of Terry Henson & other's wonderful grips that I would like/try to copy. I am looking for sources of where I could purchase the items below:

*Buffalo horn/alternative
*Ivory/alternative
*Birch bark
*Any burl wood

Any info at all would be greatly appreciated. You guys are the best.

Thanks in advance,

Jose Deona
