(Michael Faurot) puzzedly queries:
This question pertains to what's available from North American wood
dealers. This may well be a naive question, but why is it that there
doesn't seem to be much available in terms of other North American trees
such as Elm, Sycamore, Willow, Birch (not counting plywood), Beech,
etc.? snip

If you're married you could have asked your wife and saved time,
she'd know. If they don't have what she wants at one store, she goes to
another, then repeats until she finds it. That's all you've got to do.
Of course, most women keep going from store to store after they find
what they want; that's optional for you.

My wife doesn't go from store to store to store to find what she wants, she
picks up the phone and yellow pages and starts dialling until she finds what
she wants. If that doesn't work she gets my son to check the internet and
orders it from across the border.
