I follow some wooden window restoration businesses on YouTube and usually that is the first thing they say. Save your windows, because you can't buy wood of this quality anymore no matter what you spend.


It’s certainly possible to get such wood, but rare. Harvesting 1% of a timber parcel per year is devilishly hard. Those that do it have all the customers they need and don’t really want to talk with anyone else - it’s more a factor of how the wood is going to be used than the price.


Do you have any idea of suppliers or where to find such suppliers? Like I said, I'd like to find some of the tight grain Douglas Fir for my floor, and I also make furniture and pour hours and hours of my time into it, the wood is cheap in comparison.
