I don’t know how far you want to travel but I have had some success with Howarth Timber in York. They have a full selection of pine some other stuff out the back. If you go through the shop and pick up an wood order docket ( They may ask you for an order to put on it so it might be good to have something in mind before you go in, you can add to it later). You can then go out the back and pick what you want and they will help you. They will even cut a 1.8m length of a 3m plank and things like that if you ask them.
They have a limited selection of more varied wood right at the back. Some oak in different sizes and some hardwoods mostly in large planks. I have not tried it but I am sure if you know what you want and put an order in they will be able to get it. I find the most difficult think is I don’t know what it is I want until I see it. Maybe some more planning is required 🙂
I still find it a little intimidating but that’s mostly because I think I am only buying a few planks and so wasting their time. Having said that there are plenty of white vans turning up and getting a single sheet of ply and half a dozen planks so it’s probably all in my mind. 🙂
Let me know if you find anything good in the area.
