Made a lovely cupboard, painted every square inch in F&B oil based paint as was the way at the time, must have been longer than 10 years ago now I think of it.
I then moved the cupboard twice, (it's freestanding and knockdown) for the original client and when they moved again and no longer had space for it I arranged a sale and moved it again to the new owners who have painted it once and love it. So a good story really.
The first client was always asking me to price things in exotic materials. At one point I got a quote for 100 year old oak floorboards, they were circa £120 psqm at the time, again they didn't go ahead with it.
Hanson's just down the road from moss (where they are now at least) is cheaper by far when it comes to oak etc. They will machine it for you too and can order in some exotic woods but still don't have the same range of timber pron.
