WTB - Speargun Blank / Good wood - Sydney, Australia

Hi everyone, Im looking for some good wood to make a custom roller speargun which is approx 110cm (45 inch) x 4 inch (10cm) wide and 3 inches deep (7.5cm), can either be a good piece of hard timber (paduak) or a laminated piece of teak etc.

Open to suggestions and possibilities, not after a specific wood, and would look at all options. I want to make a gun which is both a standard roller and an inverted roller, similar in theory to the MVR dual system, but more streamlined and cuttlefish design.

I know this will be a hard build, but i am looking to take my time. I have made a simple little shortie roller and a larger double roller with success. Both were challenging, but so much fun..

Can anyone suggest any shops in Sydney Australia, or happy to purchase off anyone on the forum.

Thanks in advance,

James
