There is a lot less quality wood out there on the market.
Just ask someone who is a woodworker over the age of 65 or so. What you end up with is a market that is heavily regulated (just ask guitar makers) and then the availability makes the price go up.
Yes you could have a beautiful wood stock, but you will likely buy it after market like Boyds and pay a premium price for that wood.
Someone told me that if you planted 100 acres of Oak, by the time your grandchildren are old enough to harvest it, they would make millions off of the proceeds.
