For some reason timber is available much more cheaply in US than in UK 
and often in wide boards (which are difficult to find in UK).

The timber that is imported to UK from Europe seems to have a higher 
density of knots and shakes, which means that a great deal of selection 
has to go on to get the right piece for the right purpose.
