Hi, regarding wood issue, I have been doing some looking around and these are some of the answers I have for you in the West. In Bristol there is Robbins http://www.robbins.co.uk/pdf/Retail_Pricelist.pdf then in Newport by the docks there is Monmouth Timber http://www.montimber.co.uk/ They both have all the American woods but these are trade outlet so they don't do quater sawn to order, you talk nice to them and look through the planks choose what you want and you may pick up quatersawn by chance at no extra cost and Robert's your Dads brother. For me if I want pale woods that is the way to go but for red or dark woods I think the best way is skip diving, cheap shop furniture or ask a Property Maintenance company if they have any crappy old furniture in their stores to get rid of. Get diving now.

skip diving's the way to go for old wood, or re-cycling center's, furniture maker's are good too, there's one near to me, i get his off-cut's for free,or look on the "freecycle" web site UK,for people giving away free furniture, you'll be surprised what's on offer,  ,

I highly recommend the eBay seller sherwingroup they have lots of great pieces of quarter sawn and exotic wood, these guys are great and will post out to you. They often photograph and describe the actual piece of wood in the lot you are bidding on too.
All the best from Bill. :D

Not sure which part of the U.K. Your in, but I used to be in the building game and got oak and mahogany from Selco or Buildbase, if your around the Halesowen, Birmingham area I could give you a few pieces to get started off, gratis of course,
Cheers,
Ken

Hi Ken, If I remember rightly don't you have to have an account to use Selco?

Have you tried walking into a charity furniture shop? I just got myself an oak double wardrobe for £30. 

It's sitting there waiting to me to get my benchsaw :)
