'Barr' chisels?

[Linbro]

Hello,
          does anyone know if Barr actually stock their chisels, or do they make to order? Also, do they ship outside of the US? (Australia)
I have sent them an email asking these questions, but haven't heard back yet - I know, they could be closed over the new year period, so if anyone has any info it would be appreciated.
Cheers, Lincoln.

When I ordered their set of bench chisels they were not in stock. I received an email the next day with an estimate of when they would be ready. I wasn't in a rush, so wasn't a big deal for me; as I recall, it only took a couple weeks.

Please bear in mind that it is a small one-person shop and he is in the mountains of central Idaho, so weather can also play a factor.

PS: I love the chisels! They're a joy to use and hold an edge even better than I expected.

I don't own them, but have heard good things about them. For those in the USA, Amazon stocks some product.

And here's a link to the website:

Heard back from Barr, and they do ship to Australia, for anyone that's interested. Looking at either the cabinetmakers set of four, or more likely a couple of the larger bench chisels.

I have used Barr chisels for several years. Excellent--highly recommended.

I have a Barr slick that has proven to be excellent for precise paring.
