I don’t want to be preachy but I’d like to take this opportunity to draw everyone’s attention to the sustainability of rare hardwoods.

I could talk at length about the socioeconomic impact of rare hardwoods as well as the environmental impact, but to keep it short, the wood database has a good article on the sustainability of darkwoods.
