Default Source for Large Basswood block

I'm looking for a source for a couple of basswood blocks 15 in. long, 5 in thick and 10 inches wide. Prefer northern basswood. Kiln dried.
No, I do not want to harvest it myself and I do not want a glued-up block.
I'm looking for a supplier/business.
I have calls in to a couple of suppliers. Just wondering if anyone has ran into this need and knows anyone that supplies other than the normal 4 X ? X 12.
Any leads?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I have a small quantity of 5" and 6" basswood from northern Minn. with width's of 12" and 14" . It is rough sawn, and has been air dried for at least 3 years. The quality of the wood is excellent. If interested pm me and I will get back to you. Tom Andover,Ks.

Tom, thanks for the reply. Heinecke came through with what I need. But I am keeping your reply if I need something bigger than they can supply. Thanks again.
