This fir isn't going to a local shop. It is shipped across an ocean, packed in containers with silica gel to drink the humidity. The price is no longer about wood. It is about the Taiwanese chip shortage that delays port cranes. It is about the Brazilian real falling against the dollar, making Brazilian mahogany cheaper, so your Pacific fir must compete.

The cost of the bit, the coolant, the vacuum table holding the board down—it all adds grams to the price scale. It is about the Taiwanese chip shortage that

But the deep story is this: The price is not for the wood. It is for the removal of all the futures that tree could have had—the owl’s nest, the carbon storage, the shade for the stream. You are paying for the extraction of a history and the machining of a future.
