Does anyone that has some 2"X8" or 2"X10" boards that I could use to build about a 5'X10' raised bed garden. I am getting too old for a regular size garden.

You might inquire around and see if you can obtain some free old railroad ties. Various landscapers have them and sometimes give them away. Craigslist is a source.

I would use landscaping timbers... For lack of a better description... basically a 4"x4"x8-10' I drilled a hole in the middle and used re-bar to hold them in place.
I wouldn't use railroad ties for a garden. They got some heavy chemicals in them.
Old ties aren't an issue, new ties oozing the stuff or pressure treated timbers might be more of an issue, if at all.
I've noticed minimal mental confusion, lesions or enlarged private parts....as a result of using old rail ties.
