We have three production CNC machines, but do not do any one off requests. Note however, at least in our shop, that CAD design and programming alone for such a FB would be several hundred dollars. Perhaps you will be able to find a CNC hobbyist willing to experiment? I would submit that with a few contour gages and some sanding sticks you could make just about any FB confuguration in a couple of hours. $.02
