Gordon,
What about the Wiltshire recycling place? Might that be a possible source?

I think you will have trouble with something that big in a single slab
outside.
It would need to be a lot thicker to prevent it warping.
Also very expensive planed and cut.
You can get slabs of wood from a local mill.
Unless you have a big budget slats would be your best bet.
I have got a number somewhere of a local tree surgeon who barn dries
wood. They sell slabs of local timber and can cut and finish it to size.

Hi Jill one of the woods to go for would be oak but it would be useful to
look in the store room as Gorden got a lot of hard woods last time from
that place he knows. I am also glad the hot weather has passed I can breath
a bit easier. David E

Hi Chaps
I hope everyone is keeping well - frankly, I'm relieved to see the back
of that hot weather!
I'm looking for a nice flat piece of wood which would withstand the
outside weather to use as a table top for my Bonsai pots -thinking around
2 foot by 3 foot and 2inchs thick - rectangular shaped or not -any
suggestions what would be best? Oak? If you know where I might source such
a wondrous thing can you let me know?
Bye for now
Jill
