I don't know of any pre-made 33" bezels.  That doesn't mean they don't exist, I just don't know of any.

There are several recent threads about making your own bezel, however.

Good luck.

I'm not sure if you have an AC Moore store near you, but I picked up a piece of black matting 30" x 40" for $5.00.  It works great.

FYI, matting is a heavy piece of cardboard used for creating borders around large photographs.  It made a nice clean bezel that I used under a sheet of plexiglass.
