I am sure I have seen the guys on "This Old House" use lumber made
out of PVC instead of wood. I want to buy a piece of this kind of
lumber that is one inch thick, 12 inches wide and 24 inches long, or
something I can cut to this size.

Where can I buy what I want? Thank you in advance for all replies.

grimey gopher guts" I imagine my cat saying; "That sounds REALLY,
REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

Hmmm,
They use something like that for deck building.

Are you refering to something like Trex?

Check with your local lumberyard (not the big box stores). If stuff
that size is out there, they will have a source.

Azek is one of the major brands in this material. It is fairly
expensive, but they do have your size as an 18 footer. I don't
know if you can find it shorter.

Since you're only looking for one small piece, I'm curious whether
you're actually planning to use it for "lumber." You can buy sheet
plastic of many different types. I make a lot of stuff from Delrin; it
machines like butter.

Yes, I think this is the material the OP was looking for, PVC trim
boards, not the HDPE / wood composite decking boards.

Try Cope Plastics or similar sources for PVC and other sheet materials
(Yellow Pages). Certainteed offers architectural PVC moldings of many
types. If you need wider than stock PVC sheet, it can be effectively
glued with standard PVC plumbing cement. HTH
