Steve - I did some checking with some fellow Stovebolters in the Kansas City Area and confirmed that both of these local sources,
Jim Carter and
Classic Parts (both of these links are to the "pine board" offerings), have in-house shops that produce their own wood bed board sets. Not sure if your '51 has the early 1947-51 9-board layout or the later 1951-53 8-board layout??? They both also offer metal strip sets and hardware.
Both sources offer pine and oak, so you should be able to get an oak board set like you originally selected. Just use the links above to start looking at their offerings and hopefully get your bed project back on track. Let us know how your materials search pans out as other Bolters would like to know what you find out.
