This is the only tungsten carbide stock source I could find with a quick search. I suspect you would need to buy a lot of it.

Thanks Tom,

I emailed them will post response if I get what I am after, I also found a supplier in India.
If anyone has any more suppliers please shout up.

The guy I was talking to had nice 2" x 2mm long pieces that he pays $1- $2 each for but would not share he supply source!
