Tying Materials
There can be great variation in any natural material, please call or email with your particular needs and we will "hand pick"; any material from our inventory. Also, as availability is limited, there may be a time that we cannot provide what you want, we may offer substitutes, but we will not do so without your approval. We have multiple sources for most of these materials, but some materials are notoriously difficult to keep in inventory, we can put you on a "waiting list" and notify you when we have them again, only if you wish.
