Wanted: Source for strut material for 1/4 scale Vailly L-19 Bird Dog

I recently traded for this airplane and it came with only one wing strut. This leaves me searching for a replacement. Obviously I could get some spruce and plane it down to the size and shape that I want but I would rather invest my limited time in getting this bird back into the air.

I hit the LHSs today and neither of them stock suitable wood or aluminum material. But, when I look at all the planes hanging from the ceilings may of the large high wing planes have nice streamlined wood struts and the biplanes have nice cabanes made out of similar material. Someone is making the stuff.

I've searched a couple places online and I'm coming up empty.

Thanks,
Paul
