I need to make a French door set for a client in a custom size. I’m busy (that’s good, I keep telling myself!) and am wondering if there is a place to buy window muntin trim stock?

Find a old time lumber yard- they might have some.
When I first started working 30+ years ago, my regular yard carried them. No longer.
Have you thought about making them yourself? Its not that hard.
I just completed a run for old single pane windows, a tapered profile, but I have made the Ogee style as well. How much you need? What size? What species?
This run ( I do about 120' at a set up) is spoken for ( me) but its pretty straight forward to run your own, because of the simple profile just a table saw is needed, and a jointer and planer of course.
I have copied old stuff with sash planes when I couldn't match it to a router bit or have time to get a cutter.
Just get a HSS router bit for rabbetting and grind it or modify a radius bit, by cutting off the pilot and gring one wing to what you want and dubb the other back to not be cutting, but still have some balance, it don't have to be exactly the same as the Primary cutter.
Send a sample, or a show a pic, I can work it out.
