A couple years back, when we were building prototypes of my wood tweeter horn, we needed a relatively inexpensive wood that we could cut down to size on the CNC table. We needed fairly large chunks, so I suggested oak. Last time I checked, that was the budget wood. The guys at my cabinet shop laughed and said, "it's been a while since you priced oak, hasn't it?" We use a ton of different types of wood around here, so I thought myself pretty familiar with it. But I hadn't really paid attention to oak. It isn't the same as it used to be, oak is a little less common now days, and while it isn't as expensive as some exotics, it isn't cheap anymore either.
