You guys in the US are spoiled by you wood supply. I am an old
Arky-(that's Arkansaw) living in England. The wood you take for granted
is just not available over here. Good tooling means you have to take
out a new mortage. I'd have a **** fit if I afford the prices for good
Cedar-Walnut- Cherry Etc. I'd trade the wife for an 18 inch cypress
knee. Lucky devils you are.

I feel your pain. Here in Okinawa, they want $8/bf for walnut, 6.25
for maple, 5.75 for white Oak. Can't wait to get back to the States
and just go nuts!
