I've been looking around for some wood (to make a Woodworking bench out
of, later will be making small/simple furniture). B&Q and Homebase are
WAY expensive. I went to my local Elmes (Buildbase) and they quoted:

3x3 - 1.40/m
5x1 - 1.70/m

This still seems quite expensive when you are making anything more than a
small shelf?

Is there a cheaper place to get wood (I'm in SG1, Stevenage) or is that
normal?

I've heard about wood reclaimers yards, but I haven't got a
thicknesser/planer and can't find one nearby.

Where do y'all get your wood from?

Cheers,


Andy
