Good woods is hard to find and expensive here in California. I was wondering about the availability and cost in other areas. Poplar is a little less than $2 a bdft. Other than #2 pine, that is what I use the most. Cumala is no longer available because, I was told by the lumber yard worker it was infected, so I had to buy Philippine mahogany at about $4 a bdft. I priced walnut at that time and it is over $5 a bdft.
