(2,354 posts)Here's a site offering sizes up to 12" in red oak (pricey) or poplar (a little less pricey).

Also 5" available here:

There's a link to click for "product request" at the first one, maybe they'd make the
size you need.
...also, FWIW, don't know where in the state you are, but this is "Community Weekend" at
the Milwaukee Art Museum. Free admission + special events. You might find some ideas or
inspiration, or talk to someone who could point you to another resource or technique.
(Some kind of cast/mold?)
