To make this, you'd need a chunk of wood, a lathe, and a few turning tools. Any woodworker with a lathe (I don't have one) should be able to make this pretty easily. However, I'm assuming since you're posting here you don't know any woodworkers personally.
If no one here is able to help you, this roller, while not wood, looks to be a very similar shape. Might be worth looking into.
I also have a traction dangling bulge in my basement like this: https://www.amazon.com/Back-Bubble-Spinal-Decompression-Relief/dp/B01LMOS1SU It is incredibly easy to make one for about 30 times less than what they want to charge you. Use your imagination and creativity. A large sheet and some pillows and/or old sleeping bag and a rope and a place to tie it is all that you need.
The traction action should be dangle for a second or so with deep relaxation, and then stand for a second or so, repeat 11 more times. This enables the bad stuff (inflammation, etc) to come out and the good stuff (blood, oxygen, nutrients, etc) to get in. Just hanging or dangling for a long period of time is an idea that only very unimaginative people would come up with. You want to pump the bad stuff out while sucking the good stuff in, and you want to do this many times. I do it 12 times.
Also, yoga helps. I do very strong twists back and forth along the 3 axes possible so my back gets a thorough stretch in every possible direction. I do this every day without fail.
Also buying one of these and using it every day would be a good idea.
I got in the habit of doing these things and my back problems disappeared.
