There are guys on here that sell them. I've been sitting on a fairly nice supply myself for the last several years, but between the guns I've built, a few gifts to gun-building buddies and trading a few for other stuff, I'm getting fairly low. Post a wanted ad or just keep your eyes open. You could also deal with a good mill or hardwood dealer and likely get whatever you wanted, although it may not be cheap depending on where you go.

Dunlap Woodcrafts and Tiger Hunt as well, probably a bunch of others too.

Harrison gun stocks. He has more wood than all of us together could use. He will pick out 2-3 blanks and send you pictures.

I always prefer to send the specs of my intended build to the suppliers to help them. If you can draw up a full sized template and send it that helps even more. For certain styles like Lehighs and Bedfords, the gun's extreme drop aat the toe can make wood selection that much harder. The fact that Lehighs also have. A very high wrist can complicate things further, because a lot of blanks are already band sawed in to a general "gun profile". If you intend to include cast-off that can add to the width / thickness of the blank you need. If the blank is just an inch or so short )on the muzzle side) you can gain length there by splicing in a piece of wood at the very end, since it'll be buried under the muzzle cap on the final product.
I have bough all my blanks from Dunlap, I always get a better grade than I paid for.
Pecatonica or Dunlap for sure. I've bought from both.
I ordered my first plank from Tiger Hunt not too long ago and he took the liberty of calling me to confirm dimensions. I was very impressed w/ that and the board I received. Another option to consider.
