I just googled laminated gun stock blanks and got a lot of hits.  This may be a good place to start.

Rutland Plywood, Not positive on this but I think they hold the paten on the wood people use for gun stocks. Boyds , Richards Micro Fit Stocks and several others if you do a search. I think all the wood for these places comes from Rutland Plywood.

I've bought blanks from Richards Microfit Stocks and Boyds Gunstocks in the past.  There is also Gunstocks Inc and Wenig that deal in laminated blanks.  There may be others that I'm not aware of.

Hope you find what your looking for with these.

Here's one of the sets I had made from a blank I got from Richards the color is "Apache Gold", the picture shows them unfinished at the time


This is how the colors will be after finishing


My stock maker was able to get 4 sets out of the blank I purchased

Hope this info helps
