If you have a free day, you are within a couple hours driving time of some good stock blank dealers. Jim Preslik had a great blank I picked up while I was in the area back in Sept. Jim works out of his house and you should call ahead if you should find the time to see his wood. James Preslik - 4245 Keith Ln. Chico, CA 95973 (530) 891-8236

There are other wood dealers in that area of Yuba City and Chico, but I don't recall their names.
