Replacement (external) timber window sill

I'm trying to source a replacement sill for a sash window, but it's proving a bit trickier than I thought to find something "off the shelf" cut with a suitable profile.
This sort of thing: https://www.builderdepot.co.uk/70mm-x-145mm-hardwood-meranti-box-sill
but from somewhere which is either Edinburgh-ish or will deliver for reasonable price. Nothing in the obvious DIY sheds, Travis Perkins has something which is almost right but is out of stock anyway.
Am I missing anywhere which doesn't have an obvious web presence?

Personally am sick of looking and not finding unless bespoke and that's when prices go crazy!!No man is worth crawling on this earth.
