Have tried many searches to find a hard wood, preferably maple, wood disc to use as a biscuit bridge on my dog dish reso built.  I finally hit the jackpot when this popped up.  The dimensions are perfect for me but may require a reduction in thickness or diameter for some and a slot for the saddle needs to be cut.

Two solid maple biscuit bridges for $3.99 with free shipping.  Who'd a thunk it.

great deal long as you live in the US.. to Canada not so. w/b like like 17.00 plus 30-37% for exchange..

might find them here at the $ store for 2or3.00. not sure..

Cool..You could use this on a cello, too (haha).

That's how I found this!

As yo yo's go, it's a small one, 2 1/4" in diameter and each "half" 1/2" or less thick....the exact size I need for my dog dish reso,  May have to thin it a bit....and it's hard maple!

I have been using  wood I have for knife scales.  Right now I am using up a wood i call blood wood.  It does a number on any cutting tool almost have to lubricate.  Makes fantastic bridges and nuts.  Just a lot of fi8ling.  Scales come in about 2 inck wide ny 6 inch by 1/4.

I'm going to make a bridge and nut out of these, I'll post some pic when I'm done

Tagua Nuts

probably make good nuts and saddles. Wasn't there a cartoon character that would have gone running around hollering "hey, taguas got nuts!!!!!!!!"
