It's taken a good, long, loooong while - but I am getting rigid heddles into the shop now. Lovely, very nice rigid heddles, made from local, sustainably produced wood, in a German workshop.

Maple wood on top, cherry wood on the bottom.
They are decently small with about 15.5 on 10 cm, and have 24 slits and 23 holes, which makes them wide enough for a nice, broad band.
I can get them in cherry or maple wood... and will probably stock both kinds. I'm all excited!
