[CW] Better fingerpieces for the Vibroplex Vibrocube?

[k1vv at comcast.net]

Dave .....     did these guys ever think about making the wood or plastic fingerpieces themselves ?    
  
This is not brain surgery ... 
  
This is ham radio ...  have they forgotten that REAL hams used to do this ....

Oh, I did not know Gregg stopped making them, Jim. Sorry. 
When I get home, Belize, I am in the hunt for a couple of woods. 
Dave knows my quest. One is a wood with contrasting light and dark 
sections and the other is a Rosewood burl.  I want them for both key 
bases and, maybe, finger pieces.  And, I hear good reports about 
2B Radio Parts.
