I whip out my handy dandy BF calculator (OK MS Excel) calculate how
much, add 20% for miscuts and knots, add the 7% for or non-seatbelt
wearing governor and get ~$400.

Does $5.80 sound right for Cypress? I can't find an online price
without placing an order.

It would be a steal compared to the last time I priced it! I was thinking
of building Norm's table too, but 4/4 Cypress was $11 a foot in my area!
It would have been a $1000 table!

About four years ago I bought cypress at a very reasonable price, about
$3.50 IIRC. A year or so later, it was about $5 and the quality was not as
nice. Last time I tried to buy cypress, it was unavailable in New England
in decent quality. They said the harvest has not been very good. I ended up
buying Spanish Cedar instead. That is now in the $6 range.
