Timber, untreated pine
Recycled untreated pine for building projects/hobby, have a few hundred each. So pick what you want. Have built tables, benches, bench-tops, shelves an entire sleep-out, structures, frames, a hot house and much more out of this stuff. Very variable.
Can be treated with absolute NON toxic "lifetime timber treatment" for outdoor projects. The stuff I treated with it is about 6 years old now and no signs of rot. It is very cheap.
Pick up Washington Valley.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
