Anyone know the ebay handle for the Hampton Brothers, selling red spruce?

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Their Ebay ID is:
hampton_bros
They have been too busy harvesting trees to do much listing, but you can message them through Ebay or email them directly:
hamptonbrosATlive.com

They have a pretty good selection of red spruce tops and bracewood right now.
