I won't delete the post, but obviously I heard wrong! Apparently, Brian IS still making props, just not "finished" props.

Brian quit manufacturing props several years ago, so your buddy is limited to whatever he can find that are already made.

It would jjelp if we knew what he's looking for, as some folks (like me) have a bunch just lying around.

Brian Eather is still making props , Tom Dixon sells them  or you can get them directly from Brian Eather.

You will have to finish them yourself and balance. this entails removing mold flash and some sanding.

Worth every penny and time you invest EXCELLENT props.

Dan Banjok is interested in a Brian Eather prop for a Saito 72. What about a 13x5 three blade, wide blade? Dee Rice, he believes, recommends this prop for a big Saito. Anyone have any of these? I couldn't find an Australian listing for Eather props. Danny is going to drop a note of inquiry to Tom Dixon. Tom as you may know, form his website, accepts no phone calls. So. This is where we are so far folks. Any help will be appreciated.

You can order direct without too much trouble if a more local supplier is not available.
