Sourcing Cork TN Handle

Greetings,
I'm an amateur rod builder and new to this site. Can anyone recommend a supplier of high-quality cork Tennessee handles?
I am not speaking of the little nubbins that are commonly found in the catalogs, but something of sufficient length (at least 12 inches) and grip (at least 1") without the "flares" at either end of the handle.
I greatly appreciate any help from the resident experts - thanks!

sound like that would be something simple enough to turn on your own, glue up as many rings as you want, then make yourself a nice long sanding block, maybe get some abrasive grit and epoxy it to a 2X2 the length you want and have at it, you should be able to keep it straight that way.

I know Custom Tackle has them. I am sure other suppliers to the left would carry some too. Check them out. Bob at Custom will come up with what you need.
