I used to be able to get all kinds of wonderful Argentinian hardwoods at a local supplier at very reasonable prices. Now he doesn't have _any_. Woodworkerssource.com used to have a tremendous selection, now they don't even have samples of most of the species they list. I'm having to look long and hard and am finding onesey-twosey turning squares and not great stacks of rough-sawn lumber like I was used to.
Anybody know what has happened? Did some new regulations go into effect? Has the US somehow managed to piss off the international lumber market?
