I thought the supply of Brazil Mahog had finally dried up, but it has been on and off for years. It's gorgeous stuff, but when you know the damage they do getting it....
I still have a small amount left of two oak logs I bought sawn into 1" and 2" boards nearly 20 years ago, from a sawmill in the Borders, which is very nice stuff. I have since then bought I would reckon 6 or so cubic metres from a sawmill in France. It's lovely stuff, and pretty well priced last time I bought any, in 2003-- just about out of that now, need to get some more.
There's plenty good oak in France, as well as other hardwoods, it's all properly managed and sustainably produced, and the stuff I've had has been good.
Check around the sawmills if you want good timber for a decent price. Just remember to paint the cut ends and stick it properly.
