where does one just find a nice bit of wood?
Not B&Q :)
Specialist places are better. It does depend what you want though. I always just ask @dbr
I bought a lovely piece of knotless pine (radiata) from M L Panels recently for a desk on his recommendation but as the name suggests they are panel specialists.
As with many things DIY if you work out what you want and what it's called (often half the battle in my experience) you can then find suppliers via Google.
Thanks @hoefla, good tip.
@Fox, where does one just find a nice bit of wood? Seriously, my carpentry contacts are limited. Can you buy decent wood from B&Q?
