Default Where to buy timber?

For battens you can buy substandard junk from a junk yard or reclaim

I'm all for economy, and thanks for the suggestion, but I would prefer to
work with decent quality wood and I will need to keep fairly careful track
of the exact positions of the battens, so anything too wayward would be
awkward. Also, junk and reclamation yards aren't too thick on the ground
where I am, so the costs of delivery might well outweigh any savings. I'll
see what's around, though.
