The wikipedia article says how it is made then figure out how to do that method.

<a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=united+nuclear+pyrolytic+graphite&l=1">United Nuclear</a> carries it. Good luck with the large
quantities bit, though...

It's expensive because of the process involved in the manufacturing process. IIRC, pyrolytic graphite is made when hydrocarbons are heated to high
temperatures and turn into hydrogen and methane and leave a coat of pure carbon residue on the reactor walls.
It's similar to the way nanotubes are made, both substances are pretty expensive.
