My favorite quickie busk is to use a plain old paint stick from Sherwin
Williams! I shorten it as needed, round the bottom edge and Voila! The wood
is usually hard wood with some "bendability" for comfort when in use.

A friend & I made mine in about 1 evening with a bandsaw & belt sander.

any other sources, really. If you want it carved, like most of the
extant 17th & 18c busks, it might take you longer.
The best costumes require the use of powertools. <grin>
