Hey guys I found this using google recently, looks like this company will even sell milled planking which I have seen a lot of guys ask for a source on here…. https://hobbymill.eu/. Based out of Estonia, but reasonably ok on shipping too. Looks a bit pricy but if you don’t have the tools or ability to do it yourself, this could be a good resource…..
 
the price of the product is reasonable but they are in the UK so shipping to North America is where the cost comes in.
i found out here at the Lumberyard over the past couple years shipping wood out of the US has gotten so expensive it is often more than the wood. The time dely can me a month or more depending on where it is going.
it is to the buyers advantage to use sources withing their own country as a first choice. I also found out tracking out of the US stops once it leaves the US, and packages coming in are not tracked by the US postal. So coming in or going out the borderlines are like the twilight zone where packages vanish because no one knows where they went.

so yes great for customers in the UK and Euro not so much in North America

The web site has a lot of woods I haven't seen available. Any other sources that have all of these kinds of wood?
