I had fully intended to request a quote from you, but then I was offered a used one of your 10" f3.8 conicals.
I will more than likely send you an RFQ when I decide to go for more aperture
David's build thread is one of the reasons I decided to go with a conical for my Newt-Astrograph.

The conical blanks have been manufactured by Newport Glass since the late 1980's. It a wonder that more opticians don't offer them.
It is strange isn't it? There are so many advantages, I am yet to think of even one disadvantage
