larger blank help please

[Trapshooter]

Hello all, I have been asked to make a gavel to go along with a pen order. I am haveing some dificulty in finding larger blanks, say 3 inch plus, in diameter or across flats, of Acacia wood. The pen blanks I have are black acacia and both the pens and gavel will be engraved, the black acacia I have is actually fairly light in color.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for a spindle blank source? I have tried Ebay and Google, wasting alot of time.

thanks for your help in advance,
Scott
