There are many varieties of white oak, the choice wood for building ships.
I had a guy with plenty of money ask me to build a custom Mauser rifle for him.
When I gave the price he said I could buy a new one for less than that.
Good go buy it.
As for customs there are plenty of ways to get around it depending on what it is.
One time a place I worked for got an order in for some high priced exotic endangered wood.
It was on some sort of no export list.
How they got it to us was it was made into a pallet holding more wood that was easily taken apart to use the lumber.
