No doubt that you are right about the lumber.
Even man made lumber (ply) is diminishing in quality.

And the price is getting up there for all, hardwoods, softwoods, and ply.

Even Veneer is outrageous in price and sometimes quality.

But it is the cards we are dealt. When you win the lottery and get that
home, give me a call, I'll take care of that forrest for you. You'll be
too rich to want to play with wood.

Happy Easter.

That hammer is awesome. I like the doweling and mortising capability in
one unit. Wooo hooo.

There's only one problem. As time goes by machines are getting better
and more capable, but the quality of available wood is diminishing
right in front of our eyes. Of course, living in the centre of a city
will do that to you.

When I win the lottery and can afford all these great new tools, I'll
be moving to some house on a pristine lake with a substantial stand of
harvestable trees around me. Or at the very least, a decent lumber
yard within traveling distance.
