Looking for suggestions for custom bit makers! I know of L&W, Shallow Creek and Carolina but looking for someone that can make a roping type bit and maybe add brand or initials to the shank. Or if anyone happens to have a unique square port bit sitting around :) Thanks!

Gordy Alderson!!! My daughter ropes and he has made us two bits that people have had that were no longer on his web site. I texted him a picture and he made them within a couple of weeks and had them out to us. Great quality and great service. These are life time bits.

Thank you everyone! Just a bump for people today! I've been contacting lots of your suggestions! :)
Edited to add I was looking at Gordy Alderson's website and it lists 2 phone numbers, which is the best to reach him at to talk to him and place an order? And how expensive are his bits? Not looking to spend a small fortune lol.
