I'd agree that construction slow down could have an effect on the "quality" of wood available, but I'd bet it has more to do with spending a little more time in the kiln to take out more moisture. A slower market leads to buyers being able to be pickier thus motivating suppliers.
I'm not sure how to corelate what you guys are experiencing today to a couple years ago, but some might remember the crate I built to ship a '40 frame to Hawaii. I had about $100 of material in that (not counting the box of screws and a few sticks of nails). I also used a set of wheel dollies to roll it out to the truck for loading. Handy little devices those.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 06-01-2010 at 02:14 PM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
