I can’t buy wood at wholesale prices unfortunately. Assuming they have any decent wood at all.

They say if you have an Amish mill nearby, they tend to be cheaper and a 2x4 is 2"x4".

From what I've heard- 2x4 is actually closer to 1.5x3.5" /s

And even then you'll probably need to plane it if you need flatness/uniformity.
