I think that what you need to do to get a bit of the Victory is to distract the guards and put a silencer on the chain saw
If you get away with it, I'll have a couple of blanks please.
I also try to get meaningful pieces of wood and started with a pew from the the local timber reclamation yard. I then got some wood from Thatchers Cider Farm and some from Weston Super Mare Pier before and after the fire. There is some from Avonmouth Docks and I'm gradually getting a bit of a supply. It takes a time but keep looking. Nauticalia sell the pens from HMS Victory and I don't think you'll get anywere near it for real. They have the monopoly, I've asked some fairly high up people.
