Where would be a good place for (cheap but decent) bone saddle blanks?, a minimum of two of them, my guitar needs a new saddle and the place I can normally get them from has sold out (the last one I made ended up being slightly too low and the saddle can't be shimmed), it's annoying but hopefully this time round I will get it right, I'll need two just in case of me messing up the first one.
Maybes even someone on here will have some to spare?
Thanks

Is it possible to get very tall bone saddle blanks, around 14 or 15 mm? by 3 mm wide, I'm having a tough time finding any

I did a little test by shimming the thing to death and found that I need a 14mm saddle to get the action about right (2.5mm at the 12th fret on 6th string), could be something to do with the neck angle, although the saddle slot is quite deep
