Where can I get timber in this size?

If you wanted it finished at 212mm you would have to start at the next regular size up in sawn sizes which is 225 or 9" in old money.

Nominal size is the size of the sawn timbers

Finished size is the size it ends up once it's got through the planner.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions in this thread. Here's a pic of the finished job (I've yet to varnish the wood).
