Default Oversized Humbucker Rings

I am working on a Loar archtop that a previous owner installed a humbucker pickup into the body of the guitar. Apparently, his hatchet skills were not up to par and the hole and mount holes could use a cover. I have been looking for oversized rings for the humbuckers with little success, anyone have a line on a larger than normal ring/frame?

Can you make one out of wood to the size you want?

Googling showed many of these available, from various sources including Ebay.

What search words did you use? I found nothing using Google. Can you post one of the findings?
