shell inlays

[kile]

Anybody have a source for the little round pearl and abalone dots that people use for fretboards on guitars and stuff. The only place I have seen them you need to buy hundreds or thousands of these things, and I really only want a few just to play around with. For a couple of different knives I have been working on.
Thanks,
Kyle Fuglesten

Kyle, you might try these folks. If they have them, they might just pop a few in an envelope for you.
