If I may suggest the first place to look for matching factory wood is Ed's TC's.   He is a GBO board sponsor and a heck of a nice guy to do business with.  RJ's Guns is another possibility for factory wood, and right here on the GBO TC Classifieds.   

Custom wise the skies the limit with most 3rd party custom TC barrel makers also offering custom wood.    Personally I think the best deal is from Bullberry, but some of the others also make very nice high quality wood for the TC's.    Doesn't take much of an Internet search to find sites for all of them.

I would second that on ed's for stock sets, as has been stated,nice to deal with and also has good prices on most of his things. I bought a pro hunter from him and he went out of his way to pick me some nice matching wood and I did not ask him. He saw it was not a good match and looked till he found a forend that was a good match. I bought a new composit set from him Sunday at the gun show for less money than most of the dealers on net want for the butt stock.

i saw the banner for Ed's, went to the site but didnt see any pics there. i wasnt sure of what i'd be getting, so i went looking elsewhere. i'm new to the contender scene and so im not sure of whats what. i guess i'll give Ed another try, maybe a fone call is in order.
thanks for the help

Give Ed a call.  He is good to deal with and will give you a fair deal and a good description of the goods you will be getting.
