Forget buying wood from b&q etc. Start thinking differently. Spend time doing research. search around for local guys with mobile sawmills (I guarantee there is one nearby). Contact local tree surgery companies / arborists / foresters (I run a tree company). Contact wood turning clubs. And so on. Where does the wood come from and where does it go. There’s plenty around if you go looking and find the right people. There are small scale sawmills all over and they will dimension wood for you. But it’s hard work because like me they don’t want people to know. wood workers are like dragons, they won’t part with their gold and we won’t part with our wood! When you find a good source guard it with your life.
