Just in case the OP is still reading this thread.

You might want to talk to
http://www.swordswalnutshop.com/
or
http://www.crosswoodstimberproducts.com/

I purchased a blank from crosswods on ebay a couple years ago. I've also made a purchase or two from swords.

They may or may not be able to help you, but they are both in Illinois and might be able to point you in the right direction.
