Good deal, then.

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.

Well, these guys are pretty reputable folks; I've bought some
equipment and a lot of small quantities of lumber from them. I talked
to them on the phone and they confirm it's actually steamed beech,
imported from Germany. The 4/4 is $3.61 a bf, and the 8/4 is $3.44 a
bf (yeah I thought that was odd but they say the price they charge
depends on the deal and volume they get). They sell hard maple at
$4.09 a bf, but another guy I know that trucks in once a month from
Iowa and sells his hard maple for $3.50 a bf.
