Well, it's advertisespeak which concerns me. If they really can import
Europe's premier hardwood to Colorado for the same price as domestic maple
from Michigan, great. My concern is that they haven't.

You could be right. It strikes me that most of the Europeans on the wreck
complain about the price of wood being so much higher than it is here, while
also griping about most of the tools and their prices. What I've seen in their
magazines tends to support the concept that wood in Europe is pricey, compared
to here.
