I really, really like this build.  It started off well and just got better and better

I agree, it's evolving very nicely ... congratulations to the builder!

I want to make another one of these (fretless this time) using walnut for the wings, but any actual "body blanks" I can find are crazy expensive. Where could I get a piece that I could use for this purpose. Can you go to a timber merchant and just buy one or two metres of wood, or is that just a waste of time for them?

You'll normally have to buy a whole board from a timber merchant and they tend to charge by the foot length of the board. It probably won't be too expensive to buy though. Tends to be a lot cheaper than a blank for the amount of wood you get. 

 

Just take a saw so you can fit it all in the car!

I'm happy more than happy to have some extra walnut knocking around.
