Talk to Ron Nossaman or Terry Farrell who will probably make you one for a
reasonable fee.

I find the idea of the epoxy laminated caps very interesting, in part
because of the difficulty in consistently getting good hard rock maple
bridge stock.  I can't speak to the tuning stability, but it would seem
likely that the epoxy saturation would form a vapor barrier throughout the
wood, thereby negating the effects of humidity on the cap and any movement
of the wood associated with that.

I had wanted to roll my own epoxy laminated bridge caps for my last rebuild,
but was unable to find a supplier for the veneers required to make up the
pieces.  I did chase one idiot supplier for 6 weeks, but could not get him
to send me the veneers before I gave up on him.

Any recommendations for a supplier, anyone?  I'm starting a B in a month or
so that will get a new board and caps.
