The decorative articles offered are made of deciduous hardwood. I take no offense to conifers.  I just do not use (the only exception is aromatic cedar used for planter boxes and as an inlay strip rarely) non deciduous hardwood. I buy wood from a sawyer in my area. 

The hardwood is flat sawn/quarter sawn.  The wood begins as all rough sawn - kiln dried.  I machine/mill the stock to an appropriate thickness.

What I have available and what I use are those hardwood species native to the high plains area of the U.S.  Some species of hardwood native to the U.S. but not native to my part of the U.S. are not commonly in my inventory,  ie. mesquite.

The prices advertised are for decorative articles made from wood commonly available to me. The prices do not reflect the cost/price of any 'exotic' hardwood. 

An 'exotic' hardwood by definition is not native to the U.S.. 'Exotic' hardwoods are available to me through suppliers.  Cost/price of any decorative article with 'exotic' hardwoods incorporated would be repriced to reflect the higher costs of the 'exotic' hardwood.
