Does mamacat still just sell on ebay?

I wear my mamacat fork almost every day, and I'm thinking sometime this year it would be nice to get something to change it up a bit. The only other seller though that seems similiar is greydog and i dont think i could ever afford those.

where are you all getting your smooth hand carved sticks these days?

I haven't seen her selling on eBay or posting here at LHC for over a year now. :(

Someone posted a pic of some dymondwood spiral sticks they purchased recently that to me looked identical to mamacats, maybe they'll come forward and post a link.

monkthemonk even makes the ribbon spiral style, but apparently they take a good while, so offerings may be sporadic.

There's another seller who is now on Etsy.com instead, 60thStreet. I have one of their three tine forks, and it's very nice.

Baerreis of course still does great work, but I don't think they work in dymondwood (could be wrong). I've bought from them on Etsy.com as well, but they have stores on either site.

If you're looking for great quality stuff in dymondwood, I would stick to monkthemonk or Jimfo on ebay. If you want more natural woods, Etta Mae or WillowtheWisp on Etsy (they are also members here) is the BEST! ;)

Ah yes, it was monkthemonk!

Ketylo has dymondwood sticks and I think a fork design, I'm a loyal fan of his.

60thstreet, without a doubt. And they are reasonably priced too, and wonderful service :)

What, no mention of papadonh (http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&dfsp=32&from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=ozarktwist&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=42025&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&fis=2&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=32&fsoo=2)? His sticks are my absolute favorite of anyone currently selling. A lot of the ebay auctions end under $20 or you can ask to do a custom order for $30 per pair. I recommend the ribbon twist, as it shows the dymondwood colors best.

Also 60th St on eBay and Etsy has very high quality 2-3-4 prong dymondwood forks. They will also do custom orders if there's a particular color you want.
