Apparentrly they will still build them as a special order item with a minimum blank committment from the shop. No idea what the "minimum commitment" number is. CMS will probably commit, though.

It has to do with shipping costs--anything longer than 8'10" is astronomical to ship. It's only cost effective in large lots--say 10 or more blanks at a shot.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
