I need to get a few really nice strong blanks for some heavy kickers. Of course I want as cheap as possible but am willing to pay a fair price for what I get.
Do you guys have any sources you don't mind shairing?
I need 6 blanks asap and will need about 12-15 withing a few months.
These will be for a set of 600 Ok based rifles. 474-600, 510-600, 550-600 and a couple mouse guns 475 A$$M, 500 A2, and 550 Mag.
Any pointers are appreciated.

Dressels seems to have a good selection of walnut blanks, and you can get some plain looking blanks with good grain flow for fairly resonable prices.

I have a couple of old world blanks, Turkish and picked for big bores, dark wood, lost of color and contrast..grain structure is from toe, up through the grip, and straight out the forend..at least 10 years old as I have had it that long, moisture is a about 4 to 6 percent I suspect..its hard and will checker as fine as you wish..the best of wood...I only have two sticks left...I do have some 3 year old wood, but won't use it for quite some time. These two blanks are priced at $800 and $1500..both are about the same in color and contrast, but the more expensive blank is full fiddle back on top of the color and contrast...
