Steve,
If Bossdog doesn't have it? Try these folks, http://www.angus-campbell.com This is one of the original supplier's to the custom knife maker. I would call and ask.

It's unlikely you will find Tan in block form but you could get lucky and find some left over from a custom run.

Block g10 or micarta is made to order and costs several thousand a sheet to make.

I have an ivory g10 looking type and dark brown (called natural in the trade) micarta.

we have a massive slab of dark brown canvas we just haven't gotten around to cutting and listing yet ...but can if you need that.

Laminate 3 1/4" or 3/8" scales together, should be more than enough.

McMaster-Carr has "Impact-Resistance Garrolite (CE)" in both brown and black in block sizes. I've used both and it looks & works just like the canvas micarta that BossDog and the other supply houses carry.
