In the process of replacing a post. I checked by eye measurement. Thought 45x120. Started to tear down and then when I got there, I measured. 50x122. To my problem.
Can't find material in that size anywhere. I thought I could use 50x150 and saw off the extra piece. Not even those are available.
Does anyone know something that can be used? I have regular planed studs 45x120 at home. But it's not so nice when they're not the same dimension.

Beijer where I live has a sawn timber that is 2x7 or 2x8 inches, which means it is 50x180 or 200 (since no one uses inches anymore) on the shelf. It is unsurfaced so it's easier to paint.
If one dislikes Beijer, one can surely find it at another professional hardware store.

Looks more like two decking boards nailed together back to back, I think. Hence probably the odd dimension.
"Common" plank is 50x200 and can usually be found at professional construction retailers (like Beijer). There may also be narrower options, but it is unplaned wood you are after (not råplan). All wood starts out in inch measurements, so 50mm thick is 2”, then it is processed to 45mm for råplan, and 43mm for planed.
