I've tried the magic crystal ball AKA google but didnt find any buckeye burl piece that I like so I thought I'll post here and may be somebody will be able to help.
 
FWIW, I contacted one of the pen blank guys on eBay that had some good looking Buckeye Burl and asked if he had a big enough piece for a cue blank. He basically came back and said "Are you kidding?" He didn't think it would be near stable enough - I tried to explain to him about coring, but to no avail. And he did say that he rarely if ever saw a piece that big and it would be expensive if he did.

YMMV

buckeye burl

one guy on ebay sells a 12 or 18 [ can't remember ] inch piece for $68.00, when i decided to build a few buckeye cues, i spent couple weeks searching to no avail.
i finally broke down and bought a slab table top size for a couple hundred bucks. cut it into 1 1/2 by 12 inches long, sent it to " river ridge products and had it stabilized. finally after about 6 months i had my buckeye.
i am in the process of doing it again, and what i learned was don't try to do it cheap, buckeye should be stabilized and doweled. pita, but is beautiful.
