So, let's see, 4.3 BF solid spruce, sanded (not scraped?), and topped
with some oil 200 EU is what, ~$261.50 USD (per
http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi) So, that's $60.68 / BF. Folks, we are
all wasting our time making things like high-boy secretaries, Arts & Crafts
cabinets, or other items requiring intricate joinery -- we could be selling
spruce panels for more than we would ever get from any piece of furniture.
Absolutely amazing.

Note also the comment on the page: "Attention: This product is currently
not available due to manufacture capacity limitations." Looks like the
potential exists here to expand his manufacturing capacity. :-)

For that price, I don't mind throwing in some mounting hardware, or even
pre-drilling a few holes.

Now we'll just use some glue to hold things in place until the brads dry
