What ever happened to Five Rivers blanks?

Had a bunch of my gear stolen while fishing the past weekend, and one rod that I lost was built on an FT 905 blank. This rod sat in my basement for years and years because I never found a way that I could effectively cast it until last fall when I stuck an ultra fast full sink 7wt line on it. The rod then became my lake fishing sinking line darling - it just honked out line, and actually felt pretty responsive with a fish on the end.
It doesn't appear that Dan Craft carries Five Rivers blanks any more, which is a shame. I have a slew of rods I built on a variety of their blanks back in the early-mid 2000's. Any one know what happened or know of where I might find an FT 905? Thanks Re: What ever happened to Five Rivers blanks?

His website looks to be a very rough work in progress. I would suggest calling him but there's no phone number.
I would be surprised if he stopped selling FT blanks (if he is still in business). Re: What ever happened to Five Rivers blanks?
