How much money do you want to spend? Figure that out first then do a bit of 'net searching. Making a stock isn't exactly carving either. It's a lot of router work to get the inletting right.
You'd likely be best to start with a hunk of something other than walnut. A black walnut stock blank starts at around $200US and go way up from there. A grand for a high grade stock blank isn't unusual.
