Yes, that shit is warped and has knots in it. Yes, if you want the shit that doesn't have warping and knots, you do indeed have to pay more money.

This is how all commodities, products, and services have worked, since the first time someone had the idea of trading one resource for another resource.

Please try to wrap your head around the concept. Better things cost more. This should NOT be blowing anyone's fucking mind.

Have you ever seen old lumber?

The quality was way better, the whole scale has fallen compared to back then.

The best stuff now has the potential to beat the common grade sure, but it is not likely.

So to them it is true, they have just seen higher quality.

I made a headboard out of some would I got out of old houses, super nice and tight grain pattern.

The width of one ring now could easily be as wide as 3 were in that wood, maybe 5.
