Hello all,If you are in the mood to make your own picks, why I can't imagine. ( Try Tortex extra heavy white onesthat come to a point) Make em out of horn. I once made one out of jade for a crosspicker friend who had more money to spend than was natural. It looked good and played very good. While it withstood playing and stringware, it was too brittle to be dropped and it shattered. He now uses Dunlop Tortex Whites.
