Often those are turned from brass rod stock on a metal lathe.

I have had plenty of good luck with tampers made only of wood.

I don't think there are any specific suppliers for such an item. You can also use stainless steel rod stock. There's a guy on eBay who periodically sells offcuts ranging from 1/4" to about 1 1/2" diameter. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrp ... FSQ3aMESOI

He's selling some 5/8" right now. Enough to make plenty of tampers:http://cgi.ebay.com/Round-Lathe-Stock-5 ... dZViewItem
If you don't need that much, I'll buy what you don't need, just message me.
Regards,
Frank.
