Ramrod suppliers?

[Lucky R A]

      I just went to order three dozen hickory ramrods and see that Steve Bailey is having health problems and his business is for sale.  Anyone have an alternate supplier of hickory rods in bulk, (usually 3-4 dozen) .
Thanks Ron

I just got a dozen from Dunlap.

  Tip Curtis maybe? Just a thought Mike

Jim Chambers may be another option. I bought three blanks from him a while back.

Really sorry to hear about Steve Bailey's health problems.

Ron,   I believe Dunlap will be at Lewisburg.    Could be a savings on shipping.    Truman

Hello. Just ordered ramrods from Larry Zorn, 740-286-2743.

M. B. S.  is another place.  I bought six at once  last year and each one was a good one; no run-out.

Steve Bailey sold out to Dan Putz. Hold on and I'll post Dan's phone number later.

Dan was a bowyer of self-bows back in 1991 and was always asked about the beautiful pieces of wood he had ... so now he deals in wood and makes kits for self-bows and such, think 6' long pieces for tje backing of a self-bow (no modern glass here!).

So Dan surely knows wood and grain run-out. I have an order in the mail from him and will report ... 60" pieces in 3/8", so this should provide some examples of his work.

       I recently talked w/ Steve Bailey.  He has had knee replacement that is not going well, and could no longer run the mill and ram rod operation.  The operation has been bought out by Dan Putz 573-768-6920.  I spoke w/ Dan and he will continue to supply ram rods  (there is a price increase).  Dan also has traditional bow making supplies, backings staves etc. 
       Thanks for all the suggestions
