Where can I get Uranium Toner? Is there any other toner that will create a redish-gold color?

Not really.

This is what it looks like.

Ilford warmtone fiber turns a strong red color in selenium mixed 1:3 for 6 or so minutes.

Uranium nitrate is very difficult to get now since it is considered to be ahazardous material, not just because that it is only slightly radioactive but becasue it has very toxic.

At any rate call Bostick & Sullivan, they may sell you some if you want to pay the price. Dick Sullivan mentioned recently that they do have some in stock but they maybe reticent to sell it because of the severe restrictions for shipping it.

Copper toning can give somewhat similar tones in some cases, but is less "archival". Same with Titanium although that tends more towards yellow.
