blackpete,
i might be able to get it made here through a friend in the industry. They won't do it unless there is a decent market though. Failing that I will look at suppliers overseas.
It will be the same as the Richards Microfit & Boyds colours
cheers

Perhaps it might be a profitable thing to import the plain laminate blanks unworked just as the manufacturer ships them to the stock companies. I think there is just one major supplier in the US, but they produce quite a variety of blanks that nearly all use. As I see you have first rate stockmakers in AUS. pogy

trevort,
General idea of colours here

HAIR BEAR,
Not sure yet on the dollars .. depends on local production cost .. I would guess between $100 - $200 for blanks depending on colour costs and sizes.
cheers
